A bespoke piece finished and ready to be packed for collection. I use a backing board and a large sheet of tracing paper on top to prevent snagging and then all taped and wrapped up together. This one is staying local so I don’t have to worry about shipping!

My fibre art is on the walls at Great British Revivals in Faringdon (1 Bromsgrove, SN7 7JF) :-)
If you can’t visit in person they also have a virtual tour on their website here: www.greatbritishrevivals.co.uk/new-arrivals

This little find has solved so many puzzles on my red piece.
Anyone else have that eureka moment when a painting has felt ‘stuck’ and suddenly one little thing solves it all? Sometimes I don’t even know what the question is but I know when I’ve found the answer! Artists will know how this feels 🙌

A rare full day on this one - adding, removing and trying to solve a puzzle…and then photographing it in different light and seeing new things again.

It’s been an amazing week working in the big upstairs gallery @great_british_revivals and being able to get some distance on this piece! Beats the two steps back I can achieve in my studio and it helps so much to be able to look at it from afar while I’m working on it. 😀

Artweeks Festival in our area starts this Saturday. Lots to see, lovely artists to meet, and all venues are free entry. Perfect day out! 🙂

My brain dump mindmaps get me started from one word to the physical ideas for piece of fibre art. This is part of my Mood Diary series - Mental Health through the Year. Read more about this series and other my fibre art work on my blog (link in bio).

In the deep winter I just want to hibernate. Dealing with the world becomes an effort. One way I try to plan for this time of year is to have a big creative project to get stuck into for a few weeks. This piece is called ‘Stop the World’.

✨New blog post✨

I listen to audiobooks and podcasts when I’m working and I’m always in the lookout for a new chunky book to get into!

My go to genres are science fiction and fantasy but historical fiction and comedy work too 🙂

Do you have any favourites to recommend? Add them to the comments 🙏

Had to move my work desk to the studio. Split personality with engineering on the left and art on the right. Keeping physical separation helps. I also have colour coded notebooks and diary entries to help my brain divide attention between jobs. It’s very inefficient but I refuse to give up the art!

More yarn laid out today - this one involves a lot of squinting to check colour and value is heading the right direction. Might have got carried away putting it on without pinning it down as I go! 🤞 I can keep the positioning when I needle it.

Love Avebury and this is my favourite spot. Though I did make my version without the tat and rubbish that people insist on leaving there :-(

Hello! I’m new here and thought I’d share something I made…
This is my sparkly ‘Golden Hare’ made using wool, silk and nylon fibres and inspired by Gustav Klimt’s portraits.
