My name is Anne Waller. I am an ex Clinical Scientist now working as a self employed Artist/Designer producing a wide range of specialist gift items - including Paintings, Textile Artworks, Hand Painted Silks, Evening Accessories & Bags, Embroidered Items and Beaded Jewellery.
I am using this 'Gallery Site' to showcase some of my work. I hope to take you on a journey, showing you the inspirational source and production methods I have used in some of my pieces, and hopefully provide you with ideas and inspiration for your own projects.
If you wish to download pictures or copy any of my designs - please feel free to do so - I would be most flattered! However, republication in print or on the internet, or reproduction of my designs for commercial or retail purposes is strictly prohibited without written permission.

I do hope that you enjoy looking through this site.
Happy Browsing, Anne.

A Selection of Hand Painted Silks and Beaded Jewellery.
I particularly love blues and greens and take a lot of inspiration from the beautiful array of colours and patterns in the sky, water and landscapes of the world around me.
Check out the links to the left to see more hand painted silks and beaded jewellery.

Stitched Textile Art Work - Marina 2002 (Original SOLD)
This piece was worked by free machine and hand stitching onto painted and woven tyvek strips that had been heat shrunk to give the effect of water reflections. You can see how I did this by clicking the 'textile artwork' link on the left.

Textile Artwork - Clematis 2003
This piece was worked by free machining onto water soluble stabiliser to create a lace effect flower. This was then applied to a fabric printed background and enhanced with further machine and hand stitching.
The original is still available - it is temporarily on show at Davenport House Doctors Surgery in Harpenden - to cheer up the patients.

Hand Painted Silk Ties on Display at Hertfordshire Open Studios.
Silk paint is a wonderful medium to work with - the delicacy of the silk, the flow of the paint, and the vibrancy of the resultant colours is just fab. The result is a unique piece of wearable art.
Warning: These ties are not for the timid but for those that love originality and to make a statement!

Hand Painted Silk Scarves on Display at Hertfordshire Open Studios
All individually hand painted - no two exactly alike - making each one an individual work of wearable art.
If you would like to have a go yourself I will soon have starter kits, silks and paints available for sale.
