I've made a new category in my shop for my art prints and postcard/sticker sets, linked below! They're all slowly going down - the giclee prints are the lowest in stock. I'm thinking of doing a new spring-based one too, would you be interested? ๐ŸŒท victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a...

'Rose Hill garden' - I was in the mood to embroider another geometric garden and went with summer roses for this one. Colourful and bright! The hoop is stuffed with shaped felt to create a gentle slope to the tree ring in the centre :) available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/work/rose-ga... #art

Thank you! And I considered moss stitch... however I had to relearn to knit for this one so I think I need to practice more before doing other stitch types too

Combining knitting with my aerial embroidery... I knitted a base, which was then attached and sewn over to create a wild meadow ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒผ the first of hopefully a series of landscape experiments using this method! I wanted to create more variety than my usual cotton bases. Zoom in to see the flowers :)

'Island Lake, California' - an aerial embroidery commission from last September I haven't shared yet! The right hand side was a nightmare at times, very busy with textures and elements and odd shapes. I hope it came out effective though? I don't have much experience in rocky landscapes :)

I really appreciate that, thank you so much! I initially got into sewing when I was little from seeing my nanny do it ๐Ÿ’š

Thank you! And I have, I've attached a couple below where I did - I tend to have them trailing behind a tractor tilling a field: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/work/mini-2/ and this one victoriaroserichards.co.uk/work/the-til...

I re-opened and added to this spring aerial embroidery from last week... I felt it lacked details and therefore 'life'. I'm much happier with it now! Zoom in to the landscape to see the tiny sheep, tractors working and buildings :) now here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #fibrearts

In your opinions, what are the best photo-based social media alternatives to Instagram for creators, artists and/or small businesses? I feel like my Insta account is near dead so I need to be looking at other sites too outside of Meta (I'll still be on here!)

Thank you! That's a good idea, I also felt something was missing... I could have a play around with adding paths and maybe trees/foliage of some sort

Futuristic desert cityscape or an abstract exploding clock? Or something else?? It was meant to be an experiment of the former using old clock, watch and hard drive bits I have but my parents say it looks like the latter ๐Ÿ˜… it was curious to try a new media for aerial landscapes though! #art

Thank you so much Gareth, I'm glad! I have actually considered that, I just haven't had a specific idea/place in mind so haven't done it. I'd certainly be curious what commission you had in mind?

A snowy aerial embroidery I made two years ago... I was looking back through my landscape archive and found it again ๐Ÿ˜Š I wonder where that car that drove off the bottom left is going?? Hopefully they got back ok ๐Ÿ˜… #art

'It feels gentle here' - winding fields around river bends, orderly trees and bushy river reeds! This aerial embroidery was a great way to start 2026 - lots and lots of green! It feels good to be back to doing knots too :) available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #landscape

My 'winter abstractions' embroidery series has just gone live! Snow and ice over water in various shades of blue and teal. There was a focus on shape for these aerial landscapes, both in the water and ice... it was great to explore! Now all here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #art

My latest aerial embroidery - thawing snow/ice over blue and teal waters ๐Ÿ’™ it came out somewhat abstract I think? Or at least more so than my more usual aerials :) I'm hoping for some snow this winter!! This landscape will be available after the new years (to avoid the backlogged post) #art

My current work in progress... it'll be snowy winter landscapes for the next month or so :) I hurt my wrist and can't do tough stitches like knots but the cotton ones seem fine. For this aerial embroidery, I liked the idea of having detailed water and simple land! What do you think of this style?

This past commission of mine feels very 'wintery' to me so I wanted to share it here too - I think the brown shrubs and lighter green areas do it :) this specific aerial embroidery was of a landscape in Ireland! I enjoy how fields are organised there compared to ours!

'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that! #embroidery
