Crafting in the sunshine

 

Another amazing sunny day in Devon, I spent it eating pasties & stem ginger ice-cream whilst selling my wares at Croyde craft market with Yonderland Clothing. Also there, was the beautiful artisan jewellery by Oseyan...just lovely.

Inky fingers & triathlons

Another late blog post...the weeks are disappearing too fast!

Things have been busy lately, I'm still on post-wedding/holiday catch-up but hopefully next week things will almost be back on track...

 

So to give myself a break from triathlon training (don't ask - it's not as impressive as it sounds) and crossing off things on my giant to-do list, I took some inspiration from my lovely craft-tastic friend, the super creative Phoebe Gander (check out her blog, its brilliant) and made myself up a little wood block. This week I have been busily printing, folding, stanley-knifing & cello-wrapping loads of cards (usually a job for the printers but due to circumstances I've taken it into my own hands this week!) so these block prints were a fun addition to the card collection.

Simple but effective.

Busy getting hitched

A blog post is way overdue...!

The last month or so has been mostly spent making things, painting things, hammering things, sewing things, sourcing things, hanging things, drawing things and generally being a bit busy on doing anything for our DIY wedding...

...and now its all over!

So finally its back to the drawing board (literally) and time to get on with some real artwork. For those who haven't seen them already, my most recent pieces are this little trio of surfers - taking much inspiration from my favourite female water ladies, Kassia Meador and Belinda Baggs. I even had a message back from Belinda, and I quote:

"your art is amazing!"

 

Which obviously made my year!

I have new works in progress which I will be posting up shortly, but in the mean time I'll be reminiscing about last weekend and my (not so?!) hot dance moves....hm!
