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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Last week I went to a local garden centre with my nan. It was nice to get out in the fresh air and we had a lovely cup of tea with some lunch in the cafe. The weather was gorgeous on that day, shame its turned miserable and wet again this week. I couldn’t resist […]
