My Poster is up

Here is my poster for Friends of Homerton Station Wildflower planting Society up in Homerton station. You can't see the details very well because of the reflection but there's a proper image of the design a few posts below. At the moment there are some daffodils and snowdrops on the banks, and lots of green sprouts signalling exciting things to come. If you're ever in Homerton station take a look over the railings (after stopping by my poster to revise the poetic plant names)

If you're interested in finding out about the society go to the website below- they need volunteers!! http://www.friendsofhomerton.org.uk/

I'm back, bear with me

These last couple of months I've been to far away lands in search of textiles, fancy goods and kindly animals. During this time website has dissapeared. I am home now and have lots of fun stuff to show you just bear with me while I get it online....

A win win situation.

Hello,
I have a lino print of some funny creatures for sale on the internet. You can buy it exclusively from a company called Working Proof, for $100 (thats only about £62 ).
Its about A3 size including border.

The best part is that 15% of every one sold will go to the Medecins sans Frontieres.

Cement Menagerie

These are a few of the photos I took at the amazing Cement menagerie in Branxton Northumberland.It is the project of a man called John Fairnington who,in 1962 at the age of 80, began building hundreds of these incredible people and animals in his back garden for his disabled son, stopping only when his son died in 1971. Now I don't meant to be soppy but it is one of the most charming and life affirming things I have ever seen.It'll definitely keep me going in happiness for a good 6 months.Now run by John's great niece its still lovingly maintained, open every single day and free of charge.So basically if you're anywhere even vaguely North then you better go here!!great.

Simon Costin will have his travelling Museum of British Folklore parked up and there will be work from artists who's work explores British / Folkloric themes, including a selection of my newest paintings.

Hinshelwood de Borman in the Midlands

The Hinshelwood de Borman collection is making its way to Leicestershire this weekend. Come and see our new range!

Fine Cell Work quilt

I have just finished printing pieces for two quilts that I designed as a commission for Fine Cell Work. They are a charity that works to teach embroidery, quilting and sewing skills to inmates across Britain. Their work is used to make some wonderful products, mainly for interiors, which the prisoners are able to earn money from. Read more about them on their website

I hand printed and dyed the pieces and handed them over to a man called Tony to piece together and hand embroider. I'm pretty excited to see the results. They will be showcased at a fundraising event and sale at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The reception is to tie in with the V&A's exhibition of British quilts which includes a quilt made by prisoners for Fine Cell Work.
