Frogday the Thirteenth

Image
I made this little starry eyed frog guy for my friend Rhonwen's birthday! It was tough to let him go... I used some strange green woven patterned cotton for his back with brown corduroy for his belly. All made from scraps of leftover fabric and lovingly hand sewn! Then I filled his guts in with polyester stuffing. A cheapy, quicky project with the hardest part being the darting. Boy am I making myself sound like a big time cheapskate today! Here's a not-so-great picture of his belly to get you back on my side: Awwwww! I don't know why that's cute, but it is. Unfortunately [again] I can't take too much credit for this project as I got the instructions and pattern from here ; I just simplified it very slightly. I would like to take credit for having extremely relevant bed sheets though. This froggy was born with the aid (or not) of a broken heart! Know what else aside from crafting cures a broken heart? New shoes . Oh yes. It's true.

Space Age Reindeer Galactic Future Creature

As Christmas is officially over, it seems like a good time to belatedly tell you all about the various crafty thingys I made for the festive period! First I started off with simpleish embroidered fabric decorations: [And a few paper ones...] These were inspired by classic retro shapes and designs and for the more complex embroideries I took inspiration from Constance Howard's book 'Inspiration for Embroidery'. Most of the fabric, paper and ribbon was salvaged / upcycled. Next I made cards in a similar retro theme: Photo by  LunarApple These featured an Intergalactic Space Reindeer with antennae so that he doesn't miss out on all his important Christmas telly [e.g. James Bond]. I also made cards with Christmas trees on but these seem to have eluded all photography. However, I did manage to knock up a quick reindeer gift bag too:  Here's a bonus picture of my marvellous cat looking splendid under our tree: That's it! Until next time!

At Home Pop-Up Exhibition

Image
Last month I was honoured to be chosen, amongst several other talented artists from the local area, to take part in an open call pop-up exhibition at Patch in Bobby's, Bournemouth. The 'At Home' exhibition, curated by Millie Lake , invited artists to submit work reflecting on the concept of home, resulting in a diverse set of artworks being displayed. And without the possibility of hanging pieces from the wall, an exciting array of creative display methods! The piece of work that I submitted is called 'A Woman's Place'. Here it is, in situ at the exhibition: Photo by Eliza Naden 'A Woman's Place' questions cliched and outdated ideas of a woman's role in the household and suggests that 'home' does not always equate to safety. Here's a few of the other pieces that really caught my eye: Martin Roberts - I Want To Go Home Amara Leeming - Comfort Foods Carmel De'Lisser - My Soul's Home Esmee Rundle - Mars Starlord Zoe Larkins - Hom...
