Sorry, this is going to be a huge post!

Well it's been quite some time since my last post, but I've been so busy! Making these -

Mixed media wall-hanging based on the Harris Museum, Preston.


Wire prawn mini sculpture.


Textural ceramic pieces.



Made into a little sculpture.


Piece of ceramic 3d illustration work based on The Snow Queen, designed to have a light source behind it.





Textile orange with multiple layers - wrappings project.

- what do you think? All comments and criticisms are welcome!


When I've not been making stuff, I've been drawing, and spending far, far too much money on this book... ...trying to convince myself "it's research for my essay!" and being thoroughly unsuccessful... I just wanted it because it's beautiful. I do love Jan Pienkowski's work.

Back page from The Nutcracker.

Also found a whole fairy lustre tea set (minus the bread and butter plate, but I can live with that!) in a little charity shop, along with 4 tea cups and saucers - £4.74 for the lot! Bargain.



In between all the work, I've had a couple of trips home to Shropshire...

Braved the Ironbridge floods...

...to get some Queenie's Cupcakes!

Which are absolutely gorgeous, my family and flatmates agree!

You can find them on Facebook, or visit their website for more info.




Yum yum yum!


Also found a lot of lovely vintage glass baubles in the Severn Hospice shop in The Gorge - 10p each! They look very sweet on our tree.

More lengthy posts to follow soon...
