I am leading a workshop called "The Book Artist as an explorer" and as a result I have discovered some treasures which have been hidden from view for a while.
I am now inspired to carry on with some work which has been left unfinished for some time
This is some sea glass collected on the beaches of Orkney and Shetland.

Started something new over the weekend, inspired by a Scott Robertson doodle. The shaping felt good (on the right), so I've moved on to iteration (on the left).
Challenges ahead: I plan to utilize Dark Green for a key color, but the only readily available plate is 2x4. Yikes!
took me forever to come up with the right size template to make handmade envelopes. i finally got it right, but then i glued several of them shut!
So here I was intently measuring in 16ths the exact center of a pendant so I could attach the bail, when Jake, who is nothing if not enthusiastic about everything, jumps down from the interior window ledge just out of frame, throws himself down, flailing with delight, offering up his belly for a rub, while around him havoc ensues and everything goes flying. Everything!
There is nothing for it but to grab anything critical, laugh, hope for the best...and of course, give Jake a belly rub and a kiss.
Workin' on some postcards for Val. Day postcard swap. I think I may add some gesso to "pull" this busy collage together...
p.s. this is an altered card..the original is a very large childrens playing card.
I'm embarking on a new project and for this I need a background.
This shows a layering of hand dyed fabric
just discovered i can put these straight into a wall in a hole made with a pin. Would like to make hundreds, a whole wall of them.These are in my studio.
Ahora que los novios ya tienen las muñequitas puedo enseñar un poco más del trabajo de las matrioskas. La semana que viene más, que ya no será ninguna sorpresa para las invitadas, como podéis ver no hay una igual, me ha encantado hacer este pedido...
I was given a sheet of magazine scraps which had been applied to a background in a haphazard manner and was asked to use this as a source of inspiration!
I find this sort of challenge VERY difficult as I usually work to an idea, not an image.
After a mild panic I decided to gesso the whole page in an attempt to tone down the images and then I used it to create a folder which I then die cut and embossed.
I then grabbed the scrap bag and started to machine embroider images which started to leap from the page.
This is one sample.
