Rust!

My obsession with rust continues! I seem to see rust everywhere I go, so much so that I really must get down to creating some art work with rust as the starting point.


At Pagham Harbour there is part of what must have been an attempt to secure the harbour wall and it has rusted beautifully, so much so that holes are appearing. Every time I see it the texture of the surface cries out for something to be done so I have started a sketchbook to collect together my ideas.



To give you an idea, here are some of the photos I've taken:

Sampler for Samuel

Weekends at the caravan have paid off as I've managed to get Samuel's sampler fiished in record time! I trust Hope doesn't realise I've done this one so much quicker than hers!

More for Folksy

I've just added these two creations to my Folksy shop.

They are both needlefelted - the left hand one is made using wool and silk fibres and the right hand one is recylced sari silk. Both have hand stitching and buttons to finish and are mounted on painted canvases.

Where does the time go?

Yet again it's several weeks since my last blog - too many weekends getting away from it all at the seaside!

I have been busy making a few more things for my Folksy shop so must get them finished and post some photos on here as well as getting them in the shop. Got lots more ideas that I will have to make the time to get going on them.

I'm also very excited as my friend Jo and I are planning an exhibition. I've suggested it to her in the past but we've both been a bit nervous about the prospect of exhibiting our own work but now seems the right time and we're both very excited about it. We're still in the very early stages of just planning the date and venue and thrashing out some initial ideas but hopefully we'll get going on the actual work soon. We've been meeting regularly and have planned a day out together in August to get some inspiration so keep reading and I will post more details soon.
