Embroidery magazine


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!

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!

Flamboyant Birds

Two new pieces I struggled to part with! This pink flamingo and white/blue peacock are now in Germany on show at Galerie Handwerk in their 'Artistic Toys' exhibition.

Remake it


Just received my copy of a book I contributed to earlier this year... Remake it, by Henrietta Thompson, published by Thames and Hudson. This book is the bible on 'appropriation' and a must in our current climate for the design conscious on your Christmas shopping list.
