Getting My Act Together....

What a lazy day, it is Sunday after all. Washing, cleaning and finally creating a record of some of my artwork. My beautiful hubby took out his super dooper camera and documented my creations.

Henri was like usual unimpressed and decided a snooze on the bed as it was much more interesting. Isn't it so nice being a very pampered pooch? Henri certainly thinks so!

Then organizing all the images into relevant folders on the computer...So here is the result, just a few creations, let me know what you think? I would love to know what you think about my ideas and art work. It is always great to hear what other interesting individual think.

Here are my Ballet Dolls. These are my favourite to create, each one is different and no two are the same. Just like people they each have their own personality... The middle one has my hand in the image so at least you can see a height reference point. They are around about 30cm in height. Maybe a hand model is what I can become if Art stops being my thing! Probably not. But aren't they cute?


This is one of my tapestries. One thing I did learn at university was my love for the time consuming, warp and weft skill. I was lucky enough to indulge myself and really absorb this amazing skill. This is one thing I really do miss....

My Lino Print.... I do love printing such an immediate way of creating with line. Again spoilt for choice in my life as a student, as now I teach my 3 class of very enthusiastic Year 6 students how to do their own lino cuts. After repeating again and again that hands and fingers should never be in front of the lino blade/ tool they have created their own wonderful creations. My love of line and lino always get a great workout at school every year. This lino print photo doesn't do justice, even if I have so say so myself!

And this is my gouache painting that I happily paint away whenever I have a spare minute at work. The students also see me paint and like the fact that I am busily working on my own artwork. Lets hope it inspires them to keep creating later on in life and not just in their early years... This painting hangs on my bedroom wall. I happily wake up to this image every morning...

Lets see what tomorrow brings. My lunchtime "Gnoming group" brings in 20 students who are learning to dry needle felt...We are felting gnomes and little people. It is really interesting to see students learn a new technique and skill...
