All of my joyful and decorative OHbroideries are lovingly hand embroidered and set within a bamboo hoop, ready to be hung on a wall to cheer up a room or you can just rest them on a bookcase or shelf to brighten the space.
A love of textile craft and humorous puns combine to create my embroidery artwork, which I like to call OHbroidery.
My name is Oliver with my initials being O H, which is how OH Oliver came about and is incorporated in pretty much all of my designs.
Inspiration comes from sayings or phrases I've heard, sometimes I could be watching a film, reading a book or in conversation with a friend and a word or name pops into my head and I have to write it down straight away.
Each design is hand stitched, using quality cotton threads on natural calico fabric (where I can I like to use recycled fabric, usually left over from any of my upholstery projects) set within a bamboo hoop and finished with a card backing, making a perfect home decor accessory.
The hoops come in 3 sizes, large for the OHccasions (a gift celebrating a special date), medium (standard size) or small (these are the cute mini hoops).
All hoops arrive wrapped in tissue paper, placed inside a biodegradable clear sleeve & posted within a recyclable cardboard box (I try to be environmentally conscious & lower my carbon footprint as much as I can).
These make a unique and versatile gift ideal for the home, nursery, weddings, anniversaries, births and birthdays.
"I absolutely loved the piece Ollie made for me, to give as a gift. She loves it too. Ollie made this exactly to spec from the wording to the colour scheme. His communication was top notch and he turned it around extremely quickly, it arrived sooner than I'd expected! The quality of the piece is high and the intricate work that has gone into it is apparent. Thank you Ollie."
