Kids Modern 2010

Head to Dulwich College this Sunday, 18th April, where I'll be showing some work at the fab 'Kids Modern' show. The show features all kinds of product and clothing design for kids, aimed at parents who want something a little different and more imaginative than the average kids shop offers.

A fun day is planned for all with workshops and activities, food, music and beautiful things to fill your homes with.

Sunday April 18th

10-4pm

Dulwich College, SE21

Embroidery feature

Months back I was interviewed by a lovely lady, Susie Johns, for a feature in Embroidery magazine, the publication of the Embroiderer's Guild.

I had no idea how big a feature they would make of my work and was totally blown away to discover that not only do I have a 6page spread, but my little butterflies adorn the front cover!

Wow! Thanks so much to both Susie and Jo Hall at Embroiderer's Guild for the coverage, I am delighted!

Little Birds

Available from April...this very cute little book I contributed a project to.

Filled with a variety of really sweet little sewing projects all on the theme of birds! It's published by C&T Publishing and available to order here :

More on the book when I receive my copies!

Touchstones Rochdale

Finally managed to get some photos up of the Creatures Show at Touchstones. They did such a wonderful job with the display, lining old drawers with beautiful wallpapers to display Julie Arkell's pieces and creating a little 3D forest for my creatures to live in.

It's still on for a few more weeks if you're in the area.

They have also very nicely chosen a piece of my work to feature as the cover for the March-August information booklet, very pleased indeed!

A break from the birds...

I've been working on some new things which went into an exhibition now open in Rochdale at theTouchstones Gallery...

It's a delightful little show of creatures from Samantha Bryan, Julie Arkell, Anya Keeley and me, on until 18th April.

As part of the exhibition I was asked to do some large scale painting on the walls...something of a feat for such a little person who works so small!
I had such a wonderful experience meeting such friendly people and taking part in something so lovely. I hope to get some photos up of the whole show soon but for now here are some little peeks at the new pieces...my little squirrel friend is incomplete I feel...lacking something such as a wee red waistcoat perhaps?!
