Further work on my 'Walk in the Park' work. Detail of transfer printed velvet with acrylic paint and machine stitching.

Folksy

Visit my Folksy shop! I have put a few brooches on so far and original artwork will be going on there soon.......

'A View Through'

I have been doing some experimenting in my new collection of work with layering images and fabrics. This is one of the new pieces with dyed fabric overlaying an ink and watercolour sketch in a box frame. The image at the back is going to change slightly but overall I'm really pleased with the effect and these will be on my website soon.

Brooches......lots of them

I have discovered a use for all my little pieces of fabric which I am left with at the end of a project......brooches! I have so many beautiful pieces of fabric that I can't throw away but haven't, until now, been able to use. I have used a button making kit to make the main part and attached a brooch back with a strong glue. These are going to be available to buy on Folksy and Etsy soon. They have already proved very popular with visitors to my studio and I am eagerly awaiting some samples of square ones made with a badge making machine.....watch this space.................

Busy, Busy...

Busy time at the moment with 2 exhibitions confirmed for July and 3 pieces to do for Holmfirth Art Week! I am working on some new ways of displaying my work at present with cut out circles.....test piece here......

I've had some really interesting results from screenprinting the dye onto the fabric instead of painting and will be putting the finished pieces on my blog and website soon.
