<p><br></p><p><strong>Wait, what? That's not real moss?! </strong></p><br><p>Occasionally, you come across something that blows your tiny mind. That's what happened when, flicking through a <em>World of Interiors </em>magazine in my local library, I discovered the blisteringly brilliant work of my guest this week. It lodged itself in my psyche and I determined to track her down. </p><p>I did! And here is the resulting conversation. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! </p><br><p>In this Episode, I go and visit extraordinary textile artist <strong>Amanda Cobbett</strong> in her Guildford, UK studio to see exactly how she machine embroiders her magic realist sculptures inspired by the moss and lichen fragments she collects from the forest floor. </p><br><p>If you find the Episode valuable, please help us share it.</p><br><p>Find links and further reading at <a href="https://thewardrobecrisis.com/podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">thewardrobecrisis.com</a></p><br><p><strong>Support the show on Substack - </strong><a href="https://wardrobecrisis.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wardrobecrisis.substack.com</a></p><br><p>Tell us what you think.
