There are more on her website here: https://www.genevievevalentine.com/ (I also love her red carpet fashion posts, which unpick the politics as well as the designs of the dresses - the Met Gala Catholic Imagination one is outstanding).

I don't think I have the necessary disapline for it, never mind the talent.

I mean, like a lot of crafts, you can learn how to do it (though as I am finding that doesn't necessarily mean that the end product is particularly great!).helenhttps://gallimaufry.typepad.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
