Watton Holiday Workshop
In my role as a Norfolk Community Artist I help run art events during the holidays.
Yesterday I was at Watton Junior School.
The theme of the drop in workshop was
‘Holiday in a Box’
The children got to make their box,paint,decorate it and put dreams
and ideas of holidays they would like to go on in the future.
Lots of paint,glitter,laughter and food!
Here you can see they really enjoyed what they had made.

Metal Mystic 'Blue'
This is the second wallhanging in ‘The Metal Mystic’ series.
The writing is my own, written with a textile pen.
The writing is quotes, one being,
“Everything we see disperses and vanishes.
Nothing remains of nature.
Our art has to inspire a feeling of permanance
while still showing the elements of all its changes.
It has to make uus sense the eternal.”
Paul Cezanne

Freespirit 2
Opening up the creative juices in painting my own backgrounds again.
Using plain fabrics and using up my mixed dyes.
I also used my homemade printing stamps and made lots of rubbings to add details.
This is now ready to stitch into and add further details.
