The next exhibition and the 1st weave piece in a year!
Really looking forward to seeing everyone's work - I think it will be a really varied exhibition .
My piece is a response to the life of Mary Branker OBE a vet, one of the 1st woman in that field. I have used natural yarns and animlal fibres including camal hair. I have also used stainless steel to show her strength in her work. The piece also includes a frog as she collected them and it's one of my lasting memories of her!
The piece is also a lose patchwork to symbolise all the different elements of her working and home life.

Hope that if you are in Swindon you can come and see the exhibition.

This Is It

An exhibition at Artsites Post Modern gallery. Its an open exhibition so theres lots of different styles and well worth a visit,its on until 19th March.
for this exhibition I have gone back to exploring traditional sewing skills I've got the readers digest needlework book which has everything you could ever possibly want to know on sewing etc. I decided to stick to a really simple hexagonal patchwork or honeycomb if you will, but have one small section in British print fabrics mainly Laura Ashley and one in African print fabrics for the contrast.
I hope you like it Photos to follow ........
