Feathers....

This may just look like another sketchbook/studio photo collection, but it is definitely going somewhere as you will see over the next few days!
Like many artists I collect 'stuff' ( junk some might say) snippets and scraps that catch my eye and fill every corner of the studio.As an avid beachcomber, I have,along with an impressive array of shells,driftwood and pebbles, an extensive collection of feathers in my studio,stuffed into jars and pots or tucked in corners.
Lately,feathers are inspiring me to use them to create with.This is definitely just the beginning!

Fowey Show....

I am so proud to be exhibiting this weekend at Fowey Show once again. Now in it's 5th year, this is a highly prestigious show which is very well supported and attracts visitr's from all over the world. The whole of this gorgeously picturesque fishing town gets involved-carparks are free and there are shuttle buses from all of the venues running every 15 minutes if you don't fancy the stroll-although I have to say this is such a pretty place I love to stroll the old fashioned streets, expecially when all the shops and buildings are decorated for Christmas!. Carefully selected local artists (including yours truly) and craftsmen sell a huge range of handmade unique gift items along with Cornish food traders, Carol singers and thousands of visitors. If you are in Cornwall this weekend this show is NOT to be missed! Come along and say hi!
