There are so many things happening in the studio this week I hardly know where to begin! I havebeen creating all kinds of gorgeous goodies, but will begin today by showing you these lovely textile art beads....a little time consuming, but well worth the effort, as the delicate layers of paints and dye appear throughout-lovely! Sets of these are available in my store PLEASE CLICK HERE TO GO THERE NOW!

This is the second in my Dreamsacpe series. The book measures (approx) 4" x 6" and is made from fabric which has been primed and painted. I have then included artwork which been added using permanent ink,paints and colour pigments. The words inside read 'come and join me,ride the breeze,over the mountains-we sparkle and scatter on the wind-' and are accompanied by a flow of dream images,finishing with a beautiful hand-pressed pansy flower, which has been carefully sealed to preserve. The book folds concertina style and ties neatly closed with a ribbon and the outer cover is also hand decorated with designs too. It is available for sale HERE IN MY STORE -(just click here for details)

'Care' is a new mixed media Art Doll that I have just finished/ Layers of hand dyed fabric and a generous scattering of seashells from my personal collection embellish her body. Her wings are made from my hand dyed wool and silk fibers, which have been lightly wired and embroidered in delicate swirls-just beautiful!

'Nectarines and Plum Juice' is one of my most favourite mixed media creations to date! I am so delighted to be sharing this piece with you here-it is also available for sale-link details to follow very shortly, but I was keen to get the photo collages up on my blog here first, I'm so very proud of it. I have a series of 'Dreamscape' mixed media fabric books planned for the next few weeks ( or possibly months if I find the inspiration to continue for longer!) The book measures (approx) 4" x 6" and is made from fabric which has been primed and painted. The drawings have then been added using permanent ink and colour pigments. The words inside read 'nectarines and plum juice-elegant and unusual-when the birds join us-we will sing together!' and are accompanied by a flow of dream images. The book folds concertina style and ties neatly shut with a ribbon. the outer cover is also hand decorated too. Can be stored folded shut, or is also sturdy enough ...

I have finally completed the art doll that I posted 'in progress' shots of a few posts ago! She is entitled 'Sweet Romance' and is created using a papier mache handmade body base,dressed in my own hand dyed fabrics and embroidery. Her face is created in clay, which I have painted and added silk fiber hair and headdress. The most delicate wings are lavishly embroidered fibers and netting, lightly wired for shape. lastly her beautiful layered skirt is covered in pockets,again made using my hand dyed and richly colourful fabrics and tucked inside each pocket is a tag stamped and stitched with a loving theme.( heart,love,emotion,adore,kisses...etc). An absolute beauty this piece would grace any art collection-and what is more, she is currently looking for a new home! Contact me if interested for more details.
