Well that sure turned our lifestyle on it head didn't it ........

Life can change in the blink of an eye- or in my case - in the last few seconds of a catch up call with my youngest daughter.  There isn't a need for details here but long story short - We've upped and moved house back to the Midlands, we've sold the motorhome and are no longer part-time travellers.  There, when it's said quickly it all sounds so simple.  The impact upon this particular little slice of the internet is that I no longer have a studio and any work I do is definitely no longer done under the arms of a gorgeous old oak tree.  However, as it took me soooooooooo very long to come up with a name for my little practise I've decided it can stay as is for now.  Also for the time being my cards will continue to be stocked in Knighton and the plan is to look for additional outlets in my new locality.  

My mojo, however, is something else entirely. Actually that is probably better described as lack of mojo and having half my 'stuff' still packed away in boxes that are now up in the loft and my one desk (the other one is also up in the loft in pieces) squashed into the corner of the conservatory - I am at a slight loss as to how that's going to get back on track.  Throw into the equation two additional adults and one gorgeous little new-born baby girl living in the same house and you probably get the picture.  BUT, I will get there, if only for my own sanity at the very least.  Therefore, I have absolutely zilch new to share at this moment in time so I'll just pop on here an oldie from an class I took a few years ago.  Personally I don't think I ever actually finished but it is what it is.


Hmmm, maybe I'll make this one into a card .........

Hello and welcome

A glimpse into my studio -  Hello there! It's taken me a while but I've finally started work on my online presence to accompany my creative journey.  To be honest this post is pretty much a place holder whilst I work on constructing the galleries and links to my online shop.  For a while it will remain the top blog post and I'll update it as I go along. Hopefully when all the construction work is completed the blog posts will be used to reflect where I'm at creatively and share some of my experiences. I have started work on my online shop (hosted by Sum-Up)  Eventually you'll find pages for cards, limited editions, originals and a full gallery listed at the top of my Home page.  These will detail the art work that is available and will provide a link to that item in the shop. If you'd like to just go straight to the shop then please follow this link here . I've no idea how many folk I'm likely to reach but hopefully it will be fun finding out, and please...

We're on the road again

I'm currently still skipping from one medium to another and we're now back on the road again so inevitably I'll be wanting to pursue something I don't have the equipment for.  I seem to have packed a small print studio so really that genre should be my focus - I don't appear to have quite got there yet 😃  I'm still tatting, as I call it. The art above, as yet untitled, belongs to the tatting category.  The original resides in one of my new handmade books.  Like the book,  it's not perfect but I am rather pleased with it.  I also finally decided upon a use for the smaller of the two books I made in my workshop.  I'm using it as a little glimmers or gratitude book and will intersperse the writing with tidbits of art like the one below. In other news, a recent printmaking course will hopefully be inspiring me on the intaglio and relief printing fronts - hence the packing choices. One of the techniques explored did result in this lovely new range of cards...
