Pages from my sketch book...

 Some experimental pages in my sketchbook using vintage images and layers of collage.....

Collage Birds...

 

Still looking back at previous work and to keep you going while I work on top secret stuff!

Meet Birdie, Cath , Chardonnay and Daisy, paper collage art work which were the starting point for some stitched work. Looking at them now I think I should develop these further, perhaps making 3d versions of them. Watch this space....

 

 

 

 

 

 

A page from my sketchbook

Here is the beginning of a design in my Sketchbook which I have now translated in to a stitched piece, part of a collection to be exhibited later in the year. See link here for details

 

More Owls!

 

 

 

Made a few cards, I had fun hiding the owls!

 

 

I used the Cats and Owl stamps from The Isobel Craft Collection 

also available on Etsy

Mirror Mirror on the Wall....

 

 

 

 

I made this on a workshop with Mark Gould. Follow the link and see if you can spot it on his blog. I had a lovely day experimenting with layering paints and mediums. It was a million miles away from my usual colour palette but I love it!

 

Looking forward to the next workshop.......

 

 

 

                                            Thank you Lynne for hosting the day

Butterfly Bird!

 

 

I have been having a trip down memory lane recently and looking at photographs of the things I have made over the years. I was quite amazed at how much there was and It is interesting to see where more recent work evolved from. This was one of my first textile birds made in 2012 and entered into a competition hosted by Indigo Blue. I then went on to make more detailed Steampunk birds which you can see in this blog post
