Work in Progress




Bit of stitching - Cornish landscape. Work in progress with lots to do this week.

HOST - Huddersfield


In preparation for the following two weekends. My cards (packs of 5) are based on the Cornish Landscape and lavender in Provence.

Diary dates - 18th/19th and 25th/26th September. HOST open studios.

Really looking forward to the HOST open studios and also to meeting lots of people visiting Radiant Works.

Links below of full details for Dionne Swift, Fiona Wilson, Kerry Mosley and Julie Ann Seaman and myself of where to find us plus details on the website of all other artists.

This is a fantastic event and we look forward to seeing you all.

School Holidays and failed blogging!

Failed with posts recently. The holiday in Cornwall was lovely - not as much sketching done as I would have liked, but a few ideas flowing.

Have opened my box from Dionne Swift but being at home and the school holidays there always seems something else to do! Frustrating - however from next week I need to get back into a routine and be disciplined.

This was bound to be challenging after studying for a few years and being in a creative environment, so now it is vital to get organised and create that space and time for myself.

Exciting Parcel shortly to arrive

Yesterday I had a newsletter from Dionne Swift and immediately ordered one of her new Colouration Kits - http://dionneswift.blogspot.com/2010/08/colouration-kit.html. Everything you need in one package with instructions.

She has various kits to buy and being a typical textile person I will be very excited when the parcel arrives!

The Sketchbook Project

As always Amelia Critchlow's blog http://101birdtales.blogspot.com/ is fun, informative and inspiring. Look for the link to the Sketchbook Project which I, and my friend Fiona Wilson, have signed up to. I think it will be exciting to be part of a large project across the sea (so to speak).


Follow the link and be inspired yourself:

Being Focussed

Just been to Provence for 10 days and it was wonderful. I only did two sketches and felt quite guilty, but then realised that I actually needed a rest as four years of hard work has just ended!

So I am back and searching for a suitable job/opening. A few interviews in the pipeline this week which is good and I am also in the process of de-cluttering at home which is necessary to move forward.

A changing time but also daunting. Here I am a graduate looking for a new experience, now having to think for myself with no prompting from tutors. It is exciting, scary and I have to be self-disciplined with my own design work at home - here I go!
