Looking back at my previous work has finally inspired me to focus on more of my local views. Here is just a small taster – currently I am creating an new version of Dunstable Priory Church:

Swiss Garden – Tapestry Weaving
Systems Project – layers of printed Spirograph Designs!
Problem – soooo many pics that my backup external hard drive is getting perilously full.
Solution – a new hard drive to store just my photos (you thought I was going to have a massive cull didn’t you?}
Confession – did delete a few but not enough to create significant additional space!
Confession 2 – Magpie tendencies run in the family – my Sister, Mum and Dad developed this to Degree Level!
JOY – have discovered some of my early Spirograph Designs which led to the pieces I have been sharing with you
Problem 2 – more Spirography now added to my To Do List!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.

I have been so busy with our Pop Up Shop and other recent projects that I have not had time to make any new work.
Now that things are beginning to calm down I am having time to start considering what I want to work on next. I have lots of ideas, lots of started and never finished experiments and and numerous half explored techniques. But how to decide where to start?
As I still do not have time to begin a major new line of work yet I have decided to kick start my preparations by looking back on some of my favourite samples and finished pieces.
This knitted pool combined with beads and stones was inspired by a visit to High Force (a magnificent waterfall in County Durham).

Love this little felted bird which I made last week at Jenny’s workshop. Although I have done 2D needle felting before this is my first 3D effort so feeling very pleased with myself. Mind you it was really due to Jenny’s patient teaching skills.
PS I haven’t had time to add his feet yet!
An in-progress reverse applique from my studies at Luton Hoo Walled Garden.
You can view the results at my shows during the Bedfordshire Arts Trail and Hertfordshire Open Studios, during September.
I look forward to seeing you.
