This week is all about painting walls white, as I try to get our extension ready so we can begin living in our house comfortably. Having been almost camping in a small number of useable rooms for months now, it is going to feel soooo good to have things in order again. Argh…I cannot wait!

I’m also desperate to have time to develop a few ideas that I began earlier in the year. Here are a few mixed media experiments from then.

Finally, I want to say thank you to the organisers of @hebdenbridgeprintfair and @saltaireinspired for two great weekends of fairs. It was so good to be out and about seeing folk and chatting about my work after such a long break. Lovely to see so many maker friends too. I’m looking forward to my next event that is the Sheffield print fair on November 13th!

I’m sharing a shot of my stall taken yesterday just before I left for the evening. I’ve had so many lovely comments today about my work including these ‘free birds’ and how colourful, quirky and original my work is . Being at a fair and having such lovely conversations is so great after such a long time of events being cancelled. I guess there is no substitute for seeing things for real and being able to meet makers and customers and experience the atmosphere of a fair.

We are here ‘til 5pm today. Saltaire is a beautiful place to visit if you’ve noticed been before.

Good morning all!

I’m sat enjoying a cup of coffee in my garden and thinking over the excitement of the last couple of days at @hebdenbridgeprintfair.

One of my new works that I will be bringing to my next event at @saltaireinspired next weekend, is this large print ‘Intersection’. It is a wood cut and stamp print slightly smaller than A1 size framed.

It’s made up of several large printed wood blocks, which are printed separately. I overlap the colour layers to produce various textures and unexpected contrasts which then inspires the next decision. The print goes through the press around 11 times before it is completed.
When I am working on these pieces I am in a state of ‘flow’, using my intuition and in guess my skill and experience to guide me.

It can be hard to know when a piece is complete, I just have to leave it for a while and then return to it and I know then if it is finished.

Because of this way of working each print is a one off. I love working in this way, letting chance and surprise direct my decisions.

Anyway, I’ll bring this and some other of my framed works to Saltaire next weekend. I’m looking forward to it.

Here I am in front of part of my stall which (typically) has spread outwards taking up quite a large corner at @hebdentownhall.

It’s lovely here today. It’s nice and cool, all the windows are open and it’s busy ( but not too much so) and buzzing.

Why not come and see all the wonderful print work here for the first @hebdenbridgeprintfair in 2 years!

I’d forgotten how tiring it is setting up for a fair.
But set up I am @hebdenbridgeprintfair and I’m so happy to be here! I’ve already caught up briefly with @maggiemagoodesigns, @juliaogdenart and @rachred and I’m looking forward to having a good look around at all the gorgeous print work now before doors open at 6pm

Thanks to @needcraft_ for a last minute delivery of 30cm lampshade rings, which means I’ve been able to finish another lampshade in time for Friday and @hebdenbridgeprintfair

These colourful and quirky wall hanging birds are hand printed and collaged onto Medite. They each have a name.
First is ‘Edwina’, smart and sensible. Next is ‘Edith’ the prima donna. ‘Margot’ loves attention.
‘Lucienne’ is an early bird and ‘Celeste’ is a charming old bird.

These were so much fun to make. I’ll bring them along to @hebdenbridgeprintfair on Friday but if you’d like anymore info please send me a message.
