Making Something from (nearly) Nothing!

I've been working on a new project lately, melting a lot of plastic carrier bags to make a new fabric and then upcycling in to a range of products!  I wondered if melting foil (the kind that's usually stuck with a special glue on to textiles) would melt on, to my amazement it does and creates a lovely crackled look as it picks up the textures already created by heating the plastic. I hope you like the results!  You can see more in my etsy shop...

Autre Mers by Francoise Dupre at The Women's Library

Recently I went to The Women's Library and saw an exhibition by Francoise Dupre. It was fascinating to see how the artist had explored the art of making and crossed over the disciplines of sculpture, art and design. I got excited while walking around the space and took loads of photos so I've put a few here for you to see.

Little blue bird

I went to my friend Bola's open house sale where she was selling some of her creations and I couldn't resist this sweet little bird, I had to take it home. Here are some more images of her pots inspired by fairytales and other childhood memories. You can read about her and see more here.

A window

The cut-out piece could be a window looking backwards at the past, but I like to think it's catching a glimpse of the future...
