Making connections..

I went to the 'It's darling!' Vintage and Artisan Fair

in Bath - click here. There were beautifully crafted items there.
 I met Eirlys from Scrapiana and bought this Stitcher's

Beeswax - fell in love with the way it was thought about and made!

Beeswax is featuring in my work for 'Curiouser' at the moment.

More about this later..

Eirlys also says she follows the Brunel Broderers blog - she follows it via the email link which simply sends a message to you each time there is a new post so you can keep

up to date with us! This was exciting news - and in return do browse Scrapiana's lovely site here! 

Moving forward...

.. the last of the four panels being designed.

Over many days I stand changing the pieces around

and then, walking back, turning round, it looks and feels right...

Collaboration in Painswick

The work from the Cardiff Exhibition, Material Connections, will be on show at the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen Exhibition in Painswick from July 30th - Aug 21st. Rosemary Cochrane's work and mine will be shown alongside each other, so if you missed it there is another chance to see it! Sketchbooks and E-mail book to explain the developments. I will be there all day on Friday 19th August stitching away so please come and introduce yourself!
This piece sold in Cardiff so won't be there! All details on the Guild's website.
