I've just finished this house number plaque for someone who likes wrens, dormice and blackberries. It's on two 10" square outdoor panels, and is ready for them to attach to wood and fix to their front wall. Please email if you would like more information, ideas and prices.
Below, my practice pieces on MDF, which I turned into coasters. I decided the dormouse would be too small and fiddly to look effective on the house plaque.
This original BIRDHOUSE item began with a pair of discarded walking boots, which I painted with white gesso and then added a design in acrylic paint. One has 3 butterflies and a bee on a blue mottled background. Signed. Its partner has a turquoise green background with two butterflies and a bee. Each boot has been drilled for drainage and the design has been over-painted in clear varnish for protection.
The wood birdhouses were made for me by a DIY handyman in my village and I have varnished those. The back panel has a screw in so you can fix it to a post. Please email for more information.
All measurements are approximate:
Birdhouse roof – two wood panels 12cm x 26cm + 14cm x 26cm
Back panel 47.5cm x 37cm (max) x 2cm
Boot 26cm x 20cm x 12cm(max)

BEE MOSAIC PICTURE – an original, signed, framed artwork
I’ve been making beeswax candles recently to sell with bee mosaic coasters, and this inspired me to create a larger bee picture. I also wanted to use broken flowery pottery alongside regular ceramic mosaic tiles. Once finished, the picture was professionally framed at a cost of £38, using white backing board and a white frame.
All sizes are approximate;
Mosaic 23cm/9” x 47cm/18.5”
Frame 53cm/23” x 34cm/13.5”; depth about 3cm
Weight 2.3kg

BEE COASTER + handmade beeswax candle.
To complement a DIY candle kit I was given, I decided to make bee themed coasters to stand the candles on. Each “candle” is in a glass container with beeswax pellets.
