The composite picture which is on the homepage is not new work, of course, but nevertheless it is a new picture and I hope conveys the several directions in which my work is going.
I have simplified the website greatly to reflect the simpler life I now have; the previous site was written ten years ago and updates were mostly additions rather then reductions.
I do have a mailing list, which these days is by email only. If you are not on the mailing list and would like to be, please email me and I will add you. I don't send out mails very often; they are more occasional newsletters, but I do send out to notify you of events such as exhibitions and open studios. I have been quiet with my work lately, as most of us have with the pandemic, but hope to be a little noisier in future!
I'm taking part in a group exhibition in Lower Slaughter 20th - 26th April so am now busy making some new work. The updated website was part one of that. I'll be showing textiles, silver, other jewellery and greetings cards and am now working on new pieces within those categories. More details will follow, on my website.
In other news, completion on my new house was quicker than expected but the work will take much longer, partly because builders are booked up until next year. However, the house is still an exciting new project for me. Planning with the architects, showing friends and relatives round the existing house and getting started on clearing unwanted trees from a boundary wall are the current stages.
I feel energised by needing to make new work to a deadline.
