Pink Bunting

I've just finished another length of hand knit bunting, this time in shades of pink and white. It's almost 4m in length plus ties, with 25 pennants.

It's for sale £10 free post.

Hand painted silk POPPY picture

This is a new LOCKDOWN painting of poppies - hand painted on silk. The finished silk has been stretched over board, with a beige and green double mount. The poppies are shades of red, and the background is pale yellow.

The photos show various stages from my design drawn onto freezer paper, to the unmounted but finished work. There’s also a photo of it behind the frame, but I'm waiting for the framer to re-open after lockdown so I can get hardboard backing, hence this temporary photo.

The unframed but mounted picture is for sale @ £36 free post.

Hand painted silk iris picture

This is a new painting of irises - hand painted on silk. The finished silk has been stretched over board, with a beige and green double mount. The iris are shades of pink and purple, and the background is lime green.

The photos show various stages from my design drawn onto freezer paper, to the unmounted but finished work. The close-up photos show the effect of adding salt to wet silk paint.

Approximate sizes:

Overall 32cm x 72.5cm

Mount opening 19cm x 59.5cm

Card backing for the silk 24cm x 64cm

Weight 300g 

This is currently for sale as a mounted but not framed piece of work for £30 plus £6 postage to UK mainland.

Adding the frame would cost an additional £50, plus extra postage.

Special occasion cards

In response to a request about a Golden Wedding card, I experimented with interlocking hearts and quilling on an A5 sized card. Because of lock-down, and the fact that I don't have a variety of quilling colours in stock, I used acrylic paint to achieve the gold and silver hearts. The blue butterflies are printed, using a 

hand made "funky foam" shape stuck onto a card backing. The messages are attached with foam sticky pads. 
Similar cards would be £10 each, post free.

Mosaic pictures with hooks - Giraffe and Poppies

Fortunately I had the boards and hooks before lockdown, so I've been able to create these two mosaic items which could be useful for storing keys, hand towels ...

Scarborough Welly

A fun way to represent the highlights of Scarborough's seafront.

Isolation Creation update

It's now the end of week five and I've finished the nine panels. I now have to decide which side of the door I want to use - white or green. No rush - I can't buy paint at the moment to complete the restoration!

The frog prototype is framed and for sale - £22
