more angels

life at the moment is full of angels .............................

angels to sell.............



















angels who live with me ......................

















my angel sister who provides me tea bags .....................

my Welsh angel - who makes me laugh in the evenings.............

my Canadian angel and her companion, whó is just the best friend a girl can have........

and my new found, very talented, angel dollmaker who is so generous with her knowledge........


lucky me

that time of year






- when stuff has to be made for Christmas sales ....and most of all angels! I love painting Christmas cards and coming up with new designs each year and this year is no exception!

Angels is the theme of the exhibition so i have painted some very simple design Chrissy cards - this series is called - 'angel with red shoes'-

I based it on just one simple shape - watercolour background and acrylic paints.

weaving and unweaving


I am in the middle of working samples for a workshop I am taking next week which includes weaving and unweaving - weaving with sacking and unlikely materials is exciting - I love the contrast bewteen the fabrics and the endeavour to create luxury within a poor material .......





and the unweaving is just fantastic ! remove the threads and insert a complete surprise in the weave - this has a lot of potential - I am hoping the students will pick it up and run with it

studio


well at last my studio is on order and arrives in a couple of weeks



Isnt it cute? 12 x 12 ............feet that is - so about 15 cubic metres in my language - but thats plenty big enough for me ! Now I cant wait - it will be great to move my stuff out to a larger space and leave the house for house things!

I would like water in it - electricity is compulsory - but water is a different matter...........must talk to the man about that
