Sarah Appleton - Textile Artist Blog

Did you stay tuned in to find out what I'm doing with my textile samples?! Well last week I managed to rustle up some nifty ol' cushion covers: These were made from a couple of my screenprinted samples. Shabby chic to the maxtreme! The lacy edging is vintage which I managed to pick up from Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair a while back. It's got kind of an art deco design: While I think the rose design on the purple version reminds me of the Yorkshire Rose: Maybe?! Anyway, they're both over in my Folksy shop ! Also here's a picture of my work hanging up at Number 83 , just because! Proud like Mother Hen

Herro, I'm not beating the bush around today, I'm hitting you hard and fast and now! Miffy got slimed! Goo goo muck Orrr Miffy got iced / frosted (if you're American) like a delicious cupcake. In bag form. If you like it so much that you want to eat it you can get it here . In the meantime have a very similar picture to the one you've already seen: Maybe now is a good time to tell you that I submitted two of my printed canvas' to Number 83 in Westbourne, Bournemouth: It's Tower Bridge! Tuppence a bag So the above are now available in there, and one of the lovely ladies who work there was kind enough to correct my ignorance that the former is not London Bridge as I have been calling it, but is in fact Tower Bridge! Oh Betty!

He's back! Back in badge! I was talking to the Hexopus a couple of weeks ago and he said that what he'd really like most in the world would be to be all 3D and come alive to be all up in everyone's collective face. So I helped him and now he looks a bit like this: Badgers or Hexopi? And a lot like this: And then I took him over to Number 83 and the humans there said that he was 'cute' and they'd help him get out and about in the world. We didn't let on about his sinister secret plans or anything. If you want to visit the Hexopi you can see them at Number 83, Poole Road, Westbourne - I also plan to make some for online very soon!
