About the page author
“Hi, I'm Helen,” our heroine introduces herself. “I live in a small village in Derbyshire, England, with my husband and two dogs, beagles. My occupation is an embroidery artist. Most of all I love my dogs and my garden.” Helen Wilde was educated in the field of decorative art and worked for many years in the field of design, collaborating, for example, with brands such as Harrods and Lush cosmetics. Her own way of embroidery was the result of many years of trial and search. Now interior magazines, for example, Elle Decoration, write about her embroidery.

What is this page about
The peculiarity of Helen's work is that the embroidered picture is not flat, as is usually the case, but voluminous. Because of this, she seems especially lively and expressive. To create a volume, the artist uses both threads directly and additional materials, for example, beads of various shapes. The main source of inspiration for Helen and the main "hero" of her work is nature. In addition to numerous photographs of embroidered works in her account, you can see the pictures that formed the basis of embroidery.
