A Fishy tale


do you remember, me telling you about the mablethorpe seaside beauties festival?- and the amazing metal fish travelling theatre?
Well, very recently, I had the good fortune to attend an effie gallettly landscape workshop, she was marvellous, and her inspiring photos of the isle of lewis made us all want to visit there next year, everyone made lovely pieced landscapes, exept me....
effie was very nice and understanding and very quickly realised that I was probably happiest doing something slightly differant- a seascape or beachscape in fact- featuring---the metal fish.

 its a bookcover, for my mablethorpe book, havnt made the book yet, but I did enjoy making the cover.




been working on my hedgerows book, enjoying it, its all sort of, well, hedgy really, animals, leaves, sticks ect




just started on the cover,
 I found a vintage jacket in the jumble- sort of thick woven stuff, anyway the collar is now a cover with added bits and bobs of course....its all coming along nicely..
 thankyou to everyone who has enquired after my new kitchen,, no its not done, still a lot of sandwichs in our life......sigh......
