Happy New Year to everyone.

It was a very busy time  and exciting time at the end of last year with the build up to

Christmas and moving The Gallery to a new modern space.

With the moving to the new building I responded by creating a  new sculpture

‘Jeanetta Sculpiturio’.

I was inspired by the feeling of change,

architecture, the new space before and after,  Venice and one of my students.

October has been a very mixed month of creativity,

I feel so lucky to be able to have a creative life as my career and

it is working out so well. It is hard work but in a very different way.

See some of what I have been doing by visiting some of the post which are on my

Stained Glass Window Patchwork

Tuesdays @The Gallery Dereham are always busy and I get to tutor students

through many different mixed media techniques.

Carol is making a Stained Glass Patchwork Wall Hanging,

( a form of applique method of patchwork).

I designed the pattern from a photograph Carol gave me of a

picture of a stained glass window.

As you can see she has produced it really well!

She chose to use mainly dyed fabrics to give the effect of the

original blown glass.

I just love it.

The borders are due to go on and the quilting.

Well done Carol!
