Aycliffe Angels Exhibiton

I've booked gallery space in January 2012 to hold an exhibiton at Greenfield Community & Arts Centre. www.greenfield-arts.co.uk I'm really keen to explore the story of the Aycliffe Angels

www.communigate.co.uk/ne/aycliffeangels/ (image above is from the communigate site) So today I have contacted the communigate team regarding research and gathering of imagery. Over the coming weeks I will be keeping a blog diary of how my artworks & research develop. I'm really excited and have a lot of ideas already. I can already visualise how I think the exhibition will look so it will be really interesting in a years time to reflect back on how much the outcome changed if it changed at all.

Did my sketchbook make it to America?

Sketchbook made it to Brooklyn, America on the 24th December 2010 :)

Maltese Holiday

Just returned from a fabulous week in Malta! The architecture was breathtaking as were the views out over the harbour and around Valletta. Bus journeys around the island were unquestionably the most thrilling experience, speed was no problem for these museum pieces :} Lots of inspiration for anyone looking for research for a textile project and a photographers paradise :)

Cupcake Gift

It's lovely to put handmade gifts together and I've packaged up one of the cupcakes for a friends 50th Birthday. There's a couple of Chocolates in there two.

Arthouse Coop Sketchbook Posted :)

Today was the day the Sketchbook was posted! Can't wait to see what happens when it's added to the Brooklyn Library. This is the second piece of my artwork that has travelled to America. The first being 'Joy' my Momiji Couture Contest entry which was exhibited at the Royal/t Gallery in Los Angeles.
