Game of Thrones...

As promised if a bit late...here are a few close up images of my bird. Well, to be completely honest, I didn't design it but I did have free reign with the stitches and the colours from the threads they supplied... I still call it "my bird" all the same. I'm sure that'll be ok or at least I hope it will be...!

It is situated above the White Walker's head on The Hardhome Embroidery, named after the huge battle from series 5 of Game of Thrones.

 I've really been a bit slack on the blogging front, I completely missed the post I should have done about the Knitting and stitching Show which came to Edinburgh at the end of April. I fair enjoyed it by the way, managed to find lots of things to buy, mostly stuff I had to have but didn't really need...familiar?

Anyway, what I should have said was that I had a piece of work selected to be on show at the Edge - textile artists scotland stand. I was delighted that it was chosen for the exhibition and have had lots of lovely comments about it.

Here are a few images.

I'm only showing a little at the moment as it is destined to go on to the Edge exhibition in Edinburgh, a must see if you are interested in textiles, even if you're not it'll be a great exhibition.

I'll give more details later but it's on at 

Edinburgh Palette, St Margaret's House, London Road 

from Saturday 2nd July to Saturday 23rd July.

Bye for now.

Nearly there!

Some of the pieces that I will have with me at Ladybank. The collaged birds are unframed pieces and the I pod covers are made with my own hand printed & hand dyed fabrics.

If you're in the Fife area come and visit, you can have a trip across to Falkland, or further along the road to Cupar then St. Andrews. Places to visit, things to see, places to eat in, it would make for a great day out, just remember to pop in to me and say "hi" on your way!

Off the Rails Arthouse, just outside the station in Ladybank.

Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th April 10am to 5pm.

Thursday 16th & Friday 17th April 12noon to 5pm.

Craft fairs...

New little chooks just in time for my next craft fair.
I will be at the Royal Concert hall in Glasgow at the 3D/2D craft fair on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th November 2011.

I will be selling a selection of framed and unframed pictures along with some cards and brooches. I will also have a few festive things for sale, cards and hanging ornaments.

Amongst the unframed pieces will be my new collaged mixed media birds which I have made to fit into an Ikea Ribba frame.

 I will also have more unframed pieces like the one below.

I will also be attending the 3D/2D craft fair at Edinburgh on the 9th - 11th December 2011. more details later.

I'm off to do more work.

Bye for now.

craft fair 5th June 2010...

I'll be at the Morningside Makers Market tomorrow.  I'm away to mount up some pieces. I hope to have this one with me...

Bye for now!

seashore panels...

these are a few of the most recent unframed seashore pieces that I've made. I thought that I should show some as another craft fair is looming. Morningside Makers Market again on Saturday 3rd April. Not sure how busy it will be as it is the Easter weekend. I don't really mind as I enjoy going to the craft fair. It's always nice to hear what people think about my work. I will also be at Funky Scottish, 41 High Street, Pittenweem, Fife on Sunday 4th April as there is an artists weekend going on and we are open from Thursday through to Monday from 11am until 5pm.I do enjoy working different colours of flowers on these seashore panels but the red poppies are always a huge hit especially when you can see so many of them on grass verges around the East Neuk. Not, of course, at this time of the year.

I should have stitched one with daffodils!
Have a good Easter.
