Costume idea

So i will turn my hand to another of my favourite forms of crafting.. costume making.

theme this year is wildlife.. so I racked my brain and thought oh wow! ELMER! now no stealing my idea guys.. actually it's six months away.. i'll probs change my mind anyway!!

here is a drawing i did of how i might look...

Balloon Animals! Puddings and hearts.

Heart shaped puddings for St.Valentines!

What A lovely few days up north at a lovely wedding, then London saw the great Katharine Morling once more for a nice chat, left feeling really good. Then lovely couple of days with Michael (he gave me this!!!) It'll probs be up on his website soon.

Ps. great news! the urn i'm building hasn't cracked!

Off to London and then Leeds for a wedding tomorrow! how grand! very excited. and then to London Sunday. seeing Katharine for a couple of hours Monday morning which should be great too, and then having a snoop around CCC (Contemporary Ceramics Centre) and CAA (Contemporary Applied Arts) in London.

An afternoon of chats and cats.

Lovely view of bath from my steeply parked car last wednesday, had another wonderful talk with claireleft feeling very happy and inspired, (focus on the M4 though, no dreamy thoughts allowed on motorways!)

also as of yesterday i am now a FULL TIME artist!
very exciting. i'm just going to jump right in, give it all i've got.

I start making my next vessel.. today!

Studio Photo!

Spent a lovely three hours sorting things out in the studio, already collected more plastic containers for things than i think i'll ever need!

Tried to do a 'photo joiner'? I remember doing them in gcse art all those years ago! not quite the same lovely effect when it's not a rubbish point and shoot type camera though!
