New Fabric Swatches

First of all I thought I would tell you that my website linsart will be closing down in a few days so if you wanted to take a look before it goes, now is your chance. 

I will be keeping my blogs, flickr, pinterest etc

My new swatches have arrived from Spoonflower.

I created this design on my tablet.

The following two are older designs and they are both border prints.

first, the swatch. I used fabric to create this design which was screen printed

and this is what the full design looks like

Girl and Cat Collage

I recently completed this collage and the various collaged papers are on a canvas. The girl, cat and tree are painted with a thin wash of acrylic paints. You can see more images here.

The picture is now in my website shop here

The original doodle from my sketchbook is below

Nine Houses

Mixed media. Part of the 'reworked, recycled, revealed' collection. The idea was to use recycled till receipts, magazines etc, but as I thought these would fade too quickly I scanned them into the computer & printed them. I cut shapes from these sheets, collaged and then appliqued with free hand machine stitching. The exhibition at Barnard Castle ended today, so I won't be showing any more pictures from the two collections for a while. [they can be seen on my web site]
