Yesterday was day 100 of my posting a photo of a piece of work I have done in the past on my Facebook page and also on Instagram
You can see individual photos of all of them here.
Why do I bother, you might ask? Well, truth be told, it makes my life a bit simpler, gives me an excuse to interact with social media every day without having to think too much about it, and without the pressure of having to have something new to show each day.… Read the rest

we’ve been framed …….
Seems like the only time I blog nowadays is when I’ve got a collaboration to show off, and I’m happy to say that I’ve got another one.

Today I posted the finished brooches to the participants, and this is a record of how they progressed from start to finish.… Read the rest
COLLABORAMA – a collaborative textile art project

Scrappy New Year !
I have completed a year of the “Made On Monday” project, which involved making a 5 inch piece of artwork every week. I chose to make mine from the scraps left over from my other textile work. The sharp eyed amongst you will spot that there are more than 52 in the photo, but what’s a couple of extras amongst friends?… Read the rest
