Tomorrow I’ll be at Hillsborough Pavillion ( in the park next to the bowling green) for @rivelinco’s Festive Makers Market. Open from 11am.

As well as new work I am bringing along some secret goody bags, some wrapped up surprises and I’ll be having a sale of some of my works onto wood as well.

Hope you can come along. There are some fantastic local makers going to be there and it should be a lovely day!!

An excellent day yesterday.

I managed to visit the @hchontos exhibition at the @thefinchproject_ which was truly wonderful. I’m so inspired by the combinations of media, the colours, the different marks, lines and daubs on each artwork. Just wonderful.

Then a lovely wander about through ‘London Tan’ before an afternoon at the Theatre to see ‘cousin Annie’ performing in Macbeth alongside David Tennant, followed by a delicious meal catching up with her and hearing all her news.

Finally more wandering, seeing the lights and hearing all the music and general business of the big city before a wander back to the Barbican where we are staying in a gorgeous bedsit courtesy of @alan.benzie.

Next week I’m really getting my head down with two school workshops and my final event of the year with @rivelinco. It’s good to have had this blast of culture before a busy week. It’s revived me and filled me with ideas and inspiration!

Thanks to @jamesgreenprintworks and @suzitprints for organising the fantastic @sheffieldprintfair yesterday.

It was really great to be at a fair on my home turf and see so many familiar faces & lovely loyal customers come and say ‘hi’ and have a catch up. Thanks so much especially to everyone who bought work from me. I really do appreciate your support.

So many great printmakers at the event, but
it was so busy from the start that I barely had time to wander about the fair. However it was nice to briefly see and chat to @robins_room, @luizaholub, @maggiemagoodesigns, @evelynpolk, @lucygell, @shirleystevenson175, @studioaprille and most importantly many thanks to @joanna.rucklidge for helping me pack up at the end.

Only one more fair this year but before that, next Sunday I have my ‘Festive card and gift wrap printing’ workshop. If you would like to join me there a just a few spaces left. It’s going to be a lovely afternoon of printing and getting just a bit Christmassy.

Sat 7th Dec it’s the Festive Makers Fair with @rivelinco here in Hillsborough. One of my fave fairs of the year!

Yesterday’s printing.

I impulsively added orange to this length of fabric due to become a lampshade. I wasn’t sure once I’d done it, but looking at it this morning….i love it!

Hopefully I’ll have time to assemble it and bring it along to the @sheffieldprintfair on Saturday.

I’m looking forward to this Saturday when I’ll be at @sheffieldprintfair along with lots of other amazing printmakers. I’ve added a few photos of some of the woodcut and linocut printed work onto fabric, wood and paper that I’ll bring along.

It’s going to be ace!

My new cards arrived today!

I make many of my designs for cards by collaging using recycled printed papers. I have a huge collection of colourful, textured prints that didn’t make the grade & that I keep in boxes my studio. Once I’m happy with a collage its photographed and then I use photoshop to resize the image and add a few details.

The second photo is a timelapse film of me tearing and cutting some of this printed paper to make this particular card. I like to set myself a short timed challenge as a way to concentrate my mind on the task in hand. Otherwise it would never get finished! Not all my collages become cards but this Winter Robin was so cute I couldn’t resist.

I am really delighted to see my Christmas Cactus starting to bloom through more or less total neglect. It reminds me that life just keeps on happening around me, whether I interfere or not!

The other photos are a snapshot of about a 5th of this month so far. October always seems to be a bit of a whirlwind. This is the pretty bits of course. There’s been plenty of drama and I’m so over having a house and studio in disorder. Don’t even get me started on car probs, teenage angst and all the other usual stuff of life.

It’s all really wonderful and busy. I’m so glad to be alive and I’m so glad my cacti are still alive too!
