Hanging Out In Pakistan
Way back in 2007 (when I was a lot younger and skinnier) I went on a magical journey to Pakistan with a motley group of fellow travellers. Here I am enjoying the beautiful mountains and admiring locally spun and dyed wool in the Hunza valley. I’m standing next to my work that was exhibited inContinue reading “Hanging Out In Pakistan”

Slice And Sort.
When people see something in an art gallery or a craft fair, it can be easy to think that the artist / maker has just gone “Bish Bash Bosh” and there it is. Bit there’s usually a lot of preparation that goes into making a work of art or craft. I’m going to be makingContinue reading “Slice And Sort.”
Getting Crafty
I don’t often do crafting, but I’ve been invited to share a table at GS Artist‘s Christmas Craft Fair (December 7th, 11-5) so I’ve got to get cracking. Here’s the start of a little basket made from recycled prints and wool.
