on the lookout for Home Decorations

I’m sooooo excited! After almost 4 years together, me & Dave will be moving into our own house this year. Once we’ve found the perfect place, I can’t wait to decorate and furnish our new home. I’ve already started to plan some of the handmade home decorations I want to buy. These are some of […]

Buttons anyone?

My different shaped buttons are available in a few different colours and are ideal for sewing onto clothing, scarves, bags, hats, coats, cushions etc as decoration. All buttons shown here are available to purchase […]

New stock for Gallery

I’ve been busy having a sort out of stock this week. I’ve made a proposed list of all the items I’ll be exhibiting at the ‘Gifted’ 2010 Christmas Exhibition at The Newcastle Borough Museum & Art Gallery from November to December, so I need to start working on a few of those pieces soon. It’s […]

My Birthday

I’m another year older but I don’t feel it! My birthday was a couple of weeks ago and I’ve only just got round to uploading these photos. I had a white chocolate birthday cake (my favourite), which didn’t stay looking like this for long! During the day I went shopping to spend some vouchers, and had […]

New Coasters

The past 2 weekends have been gorgeous, I hope you’ve all been enjoying the warm weather! I’ve spent some time sitting out in the garden ready for my holiday to Tunisia in 2 weeks – That’s if I can still go with the volcanic ash problem! The sunshine has allowed me to take a selection […]

Pistachio Nut Shell Results!

Self Portrait with Flickr Favourites

A self portrait is a representation of an artist – drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted by the artist. I decided to use a different way of portraying myself to others, by selecting a collage of images that I think represent who I am. It would have been even better if I took all of the […]

Stall Holders & Purchases from craft fair

Whilst at the craft fair in Sywell, Northants last weekend, I managed to find some time to chat to other stall holders and a few of them were kind enough to let me photograph their stalls. It was great to catch up with the people I already knew, as well as meeting many more new […]

Commissioned Plant Pot

You might remember me mentioning a custom order I received from one of my followers on Twitter just over a month ago. The order was for a plant pot in my natural style, and I was given dimensions to work with. I had to make sure I made the pot a percentage bigger than the […]

My favourite medium would be oil pastels; I like the smooth feel when in contact with the page. 9. Where […]
