I have only just found you. I find your St Ives photos wonderful as I live in Penzance. I come over often and take loads of photos as I am rather lazy about the sketchbook thing! It is so nice to see someone else with a similar 'eye' and to see how they then inspire you.
Your heart is gorgeous! I can smell the sea just by looking at it...

Beautiful colours and photographs, you have a wonderful eye. xx
Lovely to see you on Wednesday Carolyn and also to view this post and the subsequent photos.
The heart has not been put away until Christmas and is hanging close by instead - to be enjoyed every day! Thank you again. Lesley x

wonderful pictures, beautiful work! I love st. ives!!! I hope I can see it again someday..
Thank you for all your lovely comments!
Chris, the photos in the mosaic are all of rusty boats and peeling paint on fishing boats in St. Ives harbour. They did inspire the card I made :o)
the heart is gorgeous - I loved finding the Alfred Wallis cottage when we were down there in fact we nearly booked to stay in it!!
I absolutely love your art piece Carolyn! You have captured the spirit of your trip to St. Ives, perfectly!!
Hi, I have just stumbled across this blog and I love it! I am currently in 2nd year studying fashion and Textiles and your work has really inspired me to experiment with stitching techniques. Beautiful work!
Thank you!
