THANK YOU FOR VISITING ME HERE
Currently I post my weekly collages for The Collage Workbook project [future date TBA]. I'm also continuing to work on my samples for the Surface Treatment Workshop and will share from time to time. My first love is textiles and I'm working on some personal projects at present including abstract paintings with texture and stitch. I shall get back to sharing textiles, paintings, collages and free tutorials again in the near future.

THE COLLAGE WORKBOOK PROJECT - sharing collages with weekly prompts

WEDNESDAY WORKSHOP - sharing experiments in mixed media from The Surface Treatment Workshop book

NEWS AND UPDATES

SHOP NEWS - I would like to thank each and every one of my customers for their kindness and loyalty. My shop will open again soon.

STAYING SAFE - I am staying home, following guidelines and limiting all unnecessary trips to the Post Office. I look forward to offering work for sale again when it is safer to do so. Thank you so much for your patience.
