flower brooches...

A new batch of flower brooches. Some of these are off to Gracefield Art Centre in Dumfries.I decided to work different centres this time, just for a change. I liked the result so hope that they go down well. 

These are a couple of unframed pieces which I'll take to Muchty Mercat this Saturday. If they don't sell I'll take them with me to the next Morningside Makers Market on Saturday 2nd October.

New unframed textile panels...

Sorry about the washed out look of the first two pieces, I took the photo at night with the flash on. I really should know by now. Never mind I'm sure that you get the idea of what they are about.

This one is a new design. I'm liking it a lot so will be making more along the same lines.

I never make two the same, they can be fairly similar but never exactly the same. I put these photos on Flickr last night and was asked the size of this one. It is 7 1/2" x 4". The other ones are both 5 3/4" x 4".

Not sure where thay will end up as I have put in for a stall at the "Muchty Mercat" in Auchtermuchty on Saturday 25th September ( 10am - 1pm). I may take them with me or as I hope to have my Etsy shop open soon I may keep them for that. With new photos of course!

Watch this space!!!!!

Byee.

Morningside Makers Market...

Hi there!
I'll be at the September craft market at Morningside, Edinburgh. 10.30am - 4.40pm tomorrow.

I think this is finished and will have it with me tomorrow.

If you're in the area pop in and have a look there will be lots of other lovely stalls.

Bye for now!

Pittenweem...

At the Pittenweem Arts Festival just now. It started on Friday evening and runs until this Sunday, 15th Aug. It's always great fun but exhausting all the same. I had hoped to have some images of the work I had framed for the event but forgot to do it before they went to the framer.

A little unframed seashore piece which I only just remembered to take a photo of. It was dark by that time and  had to have the flash on. It's not really looking its best.

I've recently come back from holiday where I'd been doing a heap of beachcombing. I decided to do a few driftwood hangings along with a few machine embroidered fish hangings with some of the pieces I'd collected...just for a change. I'll take a few pictures of them, once I get the camera batteries charged!

This is one of the beachcombing beaches on the west coast of Scotland. I found some lovely sea glass and coloured china there.

Back to Pittenweem ...if you're in the area why not drop in and see some of my work first hand.

I'm at Funky Scottish, 41 High Street. Venue 13.

Open 10am to 5pm

Bye for now.

craft fair...

Here we are again the night before the next craft fair!
I'll be at the Morningside Makers Market in Edinburgh tomorrow 3rd July. It's on between 10.30am and 4.30 pm. I'll be taking my new small flower brooches with me (previous post) along with a few new unframed abstract pieces.
I will not be at the August Market as I'll be at Funky Scottish for the Pittenweem Arts Festival which is on from 7th August to the 15th August 2010.

flower brooches....

Some new flower brooches. I've made these flowers smaller than the original ones. Just for a change!

These ones have eight petals instead of twelve.

 

This is a group photo of the smaller flower brooches with the larger flower brooches.

I'll have them with me for sale at the next Morningside Makers Market, Edinburgh which is on Saturday 3rd July 2010 from 10.30am - 4pm.
