meet the designer... Bérénice Robert About me @woolthatgirl I live southeast of Paris, France. I began crafting with weaving in 2016, on a loom made by my boyfriend, so the first item I made was woven. But when I was much younger, I used to make seed-bead jewellery and other crafts. I discovered punch needle on Instagram and immediately wanted to give it a try – nobody taught me, I taught myself. I create most of my new designs in the evenings. When I’m not crafting, I like to play with my son and listen to true crime podcasts or read books. “I am usually inspired by the sights, sounds and colours of everyday life.” About my work My work has a lot of different textures, a bit of colour and sometimes some dried flowers. I am usually inspired by the sights, sounds and colours of everyday life. I would describe my work as cosy and colourful! I like the fact that I can add different kinds of texture by using different punch needles and different yarns. I usually have a lot of ideas at the same time, and then there’s a long period when I have no ideas at all. I like to spend time thinking about each idea but I also love to improvise when I create. There lots of artists, designers and craftspeople that inspire me. But where punch needle is concerned I really enjoy the work of: @bookhou, @rosepearlman, @claspertorch, @lieudit.home and many others. Bérénice www.etsy.com/fr/shop/WoolThatGirl 34 Stitch Life
My project to make SUMMER LANDSCAPE I love the rounded, overlapping shapes which, together with the combination of warm colours – yellow, orange, red – remind me of a landscape in summer. The white stitching could be in blue thread to represent the sky, but I have used white so that the other colours really stand out. The round shapes are soothing and relaxing to work on and to look at afterwards. I liked all the Anchor Tapisserie Wool that I used, and the linen backing fabric is perfect for punch needling.
