Noriko Bag

I had finally finished a very belated xmas pressie for my friend Elaine this week and was delighted to be able to give it to her this weekend. This is a beautiful little bag which you can find the instructions and pattern for here so a big thank you to lazy girl designs. I have passed this link to many many friends so this bag should be popping up quite a lot. I hope to perfect my sewing skills and make a few more of these.

Happy New Year

I know I promised to post more but doesn't time seem to just disappear? I've been busy working on My City & Guilds work which I'm doing with Linda Kemshall so I'll post this painting I did a year or so ago. Its called The Escape. I've been creating some wonderful backgrounds while experimenting for my sketchbook using salt and clingfilm and the outcome is great. I do hope to get some of that work posted here soon. I hope you are all full of creative enthusiam for the new year and hope to get back in the creative swing with you all too. Take care xx
