A dress top and a top.



My friend will hate these photos but I think she looks lovely. These were a couple of pieces I made for the Tamworth gig as I wanted to show  some example and everything had sold recently

Mosaics from Tamworth

It has been my recent privilege to teach a group of women from Tamworth, North NSW. With all the hospitality of country towns everywhere I was welcomed  and looked after and steeped in the company of talented crafty women. Many of them had as much to teach me and this is the added bonus of teaching them.  
I thought I got a photo of everyone's work but I seemed to have missed Jan's beautiful Autumnal throw, you'll just have to imagine.

Never say die

Take a look at this recent jacket I made. Yuck!!!! It just sat strange and it did not matter who I put it on it wouldn't work.
Enter a pair of scissors stage left and  put one arm over the head cut off the sleeves reattach one and rejoin all the bits, add a matching arm warmer and voila!!

felt 500

Many many many months ago I sent of some images of my work to Lark Books. Apparently they wanted to publish a book as part of their 500 series, 500 felt objects. I poured over photos and picked five I thought might have some merit. Nearly 12 months later I get a letter. Curiouser and curiouser.
I am very excited to announce that there will be 3 of my images in the book!! It should be available from September. I think this is a must to add to the pile as I have heard from others there is some really amazing work in there .
