Peckham Platform Open 2015 - Choumert Square

This year I visited Choumert Square during their open gardens in June. I'd always walked past this curious gated road and had a peek through the gates. I saw this colourful visitor looking around and this formed the embroidery which I presented at this year's Open 15 at Peckham Platform (I'm aiming to submit one every year - the first was in 2012). I won third prize as part of the gallery's choice awards, which was lovely as I haven't won anything in a very long time.

We were inspired by real ale style labels. I'm was chuffed to have one of mine printed onto glasses which were given to guests as party favours.
