My art (made by me!)

(art not made by me)

Blue fish:
sequins, beads, random bits and pieces, on painted canvas,
January 2012

Ten years ago, I was given a present of a watercolour set.

I dabbled in this for a while and produced a variety of pictures, most of which now hang in our downstairs loo (no, not literally - on the walls!)

Following an Art Access course in 2005-7 I discovered the joys of creative textiles and went on to experiment with manipulating fibres and fabrics - burning, melting, scorching - anything but cross stitch.

Over the past few years I have dabbled in altered art, and in particular altered books.

I also work with polymer clay and felt. I like creating collages using beads, bits and pieces, and trying to use up all the stuff I have accumulated over the years.
