Merry Christmas Mine Dumpling Loves!
Thanks to everyone who squished in a print purchase in time for Christmas, it was so lovely to see the sales come in. I'm excited to be adding more to the shop next year along with some other bits too.
I'm really grateful so many of you attended this website, what a buzz!
Now we slope away for some festive stupor.
I hope you have a lovely time.
I will be partaking of too many of the best ever crisps (I promise you, you have to try them) washed down with Snowballs; I make mine with tonic instead of lemonade - much more delicious.
Princess Maggie has some special food which she will either totally ignore or gobble and throw up on the doormat, she's a complex woman and I wouldn't have her any other way.
See you next year!
I've made A3 posters of these collages, available in the shop now!
I love my flashing women. Underneath those voluminous skirts they're both blowing raspberries, just FYI.
I don't want to say much more about them, apart from that I made them at a similar time to my NO collages and they have a similar energy. I wanted to make posters of them so more people could enjoy a bit of that energy in their home.
You can pin them up or they would also look nice in these frames; I'm thinking one each side of your bed would be great.
What girly shit are you enjoying of late?
And what was your most anti-climatic celebrity encounter?
This summer just gone I packed up my day bag and made a trip down to St Ives where I had a proper art geek treat in store for me.
Such high level geekery required the correct attire, socks and sandals just felt right.
The big treat was that Gemma at Tate let me in to Barbara Hepworth's studio for a snoop around. To get all close up to the hardworking things in there and catch a vibe for expanding the mug design a little (more news on that another time).
It was magic to get amongst all the hard working things and feel the special aura of such an amazing woman through the place she worked.
The tools felt like artworks in themselves, such satisfying shapes that corresponded to the beautiful shapes of the sculptures, maquettes and inspirational objects around the place.
I spent a good amount of time just poking about taking it all in
And then I got to spend a little time in the sun in her garden making some preliminary snips and sketches. Perfect.
Ok, I'm going to start shouting about this dang website now,
Maybe that's how you've found it, maybe you heard the shouting.
Hello,
Please: have a look around, enjoy the ambience, visit the shop if you like.
