About

Welcome to Cat & Magpie, a place where spooky meets adorable!

My name is Laura; I'm a Cardiff based artist/maker, with a love for cats, spooky films, black metal music, and sewing. 
You will often find me hidden away with a cup of tea and my cats Salem & Loki, or haunting a dusty antique shop, searching for forgotten treasures.

I create unique pieces of embroidered/textile artworks using a variety of different techniques and materials. I love to show my personality and interests through my work; I'm a huge lover of Halloween and everything spooky (all year round!) and my work is particularly influenced by this.

I have also written my fisrt book, Haunted Holiday Stitches. In this book, I share my embroidery knowledge, tricks and treats on how I create my designs, and suggestions on the tools and materials you'll need to create your own Halloween-inspired embroideries.

I am always happy to work on commissions too; for any enquiries, please use my contact form.

I hope you enjoy your time here, thank you for your support ^^
