Digitalis Fanciformus – sneeky peek.

A very big thank you to every one of you who sent me gloves for my textile project, here is a sneeky peek at what some of them have been turned into.  They are very much a work in progress at the moment as you can see. Flower heads dumped on the table above.  They will have [...]

PlayAway 2012

I can’t believe that I have just spent 3 whole days away indulging myself in good company and creativity at an experimental PlayAway in deepest, darkest Worcestershire. As you can see from the photo below, it was a select group of 6 (Annie Mackay, Mary Whittaker, me, Neet aka Anita Hickson, Wendy Kirk and Adrienne Wood) [...]

In Print

I seem to be always apologising:  Once again the apology is for severe  lack of posts over the last few weeks, and of course the usual excuse still applies -I have been very very busy recently.  However, I do want to tell you that the Oooze and Aahhs class I ran at Husqvarna in Nottingham at the end of [...]

Fashion, Embrodery and Craft

It makes such a change for me to be at a show and not be demonstrating.  Instead I was stewarding the Nolitex exhibition called A Question Of Identity.  This is the most recent showing of a touring exhibition that went to Ireland amongst other places and contained about 45 pieces of work (only a few of [...]
