New Year Catch-up!

Hello all, well first I have to apologise for being so out of touch for ages and not blogging since November!- very remiss of me. So lets catch up on what has been going on.

CHRISTMAS- hope you all had a good one, it already seems ages ago but here are some of the numerous items I made for gifts this time. Above are; one of the half-a-dozen felt holly wreaths I made, a pair of hand knitted long ribbed socks and the four angels I made for my two nieces and my two girls ( they have clay limbs and head with soft bodies ). Below is a felt cuckoo clock that I made for a friend who collects real ones.

RURAL COLLUSIONS UPDATE- I went before christmas to take some more photo's of the work at Thornham ( sadly the festivities took over and I didn't manage to get to Lackford). Things are getting a lovely "incorporated" look about them now.

As you can see the moss carpet (third and fourth photo down) and the leaves (fifth photo down) are becoming so well absorbed by nature it's hard to tell they are even there! Oops the photo of the last remaining tree vein is on its side but you get the idea.


WORK IN THE STUDIO- I began working on some new ideas at the back end of last year that I haven't yet shown you (the blue pod like pieces at the top are also new).......

 Watch this space for more news of new work. I am about to start making more work based on the brain-   you may have spotted the crocheted neurone above! I promise it won't be so long before my next blog x J
