My work featured in MOYO!
Something amazing happened this week, I was featured in my first magazine (hopefully the first of many) Moyo (issue 5) along side many talented artists.
Tigerprint Competition
It's been a while since my last post, so I just wanted to let you know what I've been up to...
I have recently entered a competition at Tigerprint to design a black & white pattern. Theres only one more week to the final closing date so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I thought I'd go for 2 different looks as I'm still experimenting;

Here I go...
Welcome to my first post - if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got!
(a quote my father-in-law always repeats to me at times of frustration)
My friends & family have been telling me for months (if I'm honest it's more like 2 years...) to get a blog to show my work & various crafty things I have made over the years. So I decided today was the day.
I'm dedicating this post, the first of many I hope, to all the people who like myself have been be meaning to set up a blog but just haven't got round to it yet.
