I’m a fan of zipped pouches to carry all sorts of things in my rucksack. I’ve got some fabric left over from cushion making, not big enough for cushions, but great for handy pouches! The wonderful thing about using remnants of fabric and making each one by hand is that they will all be unique! #pouches #originaldesign #textiles #illustration #naturelovers #kangaroo #hound #rescuedog #dogs #handmade #handy #unique #sustainable #ethicalymade

I love things in miniature so made these tiny drawings for a very small handmade book about the Himalayan Monal pheasant which can also be worn as a necklace. A perfect gift or stocking filler for someone who loves nature!

I went to pick up my work today from the Art Pavilion. The end of this exhibition has come round so quickly but with it a new beginning and home for one of my art works. A red dot marked the spot where my Himalayan Monal was! Someone out there has appreciated him, which has made a fantastic finale to a wonderful show! @prismtextiles #prismtextiles2021 #end #exhibition #Himalayan monal #bird #textiles #art #handmade

I rediscovered this little bowl on one of my shelves. It’s the first pinch bowl I’ve made. It takes me back to a ceramics course which unfortunately ended rather abruptly due to the pandemic like so many things. What it’s done though is fuel a real enjoyment for this craft and a hope that at some point I can make more! #ceramics #enjoyment😍 #making #blueandwhite #tansybeetle #endangered #bowl #pottery #handmade #craft

So this will be my seventh year exhibiting with Pr

So this will be my seventh year exhibiting with Prism but it feels a particularly special one. It feels so good to have a real life show again. A beautiful day as well for the beginning of this exhibition. On until the 31st October at the Art Pavilion, Mile End, not to be missed! @prismtextiles #prismtextiles2021 #exhibition #london #textiles #openingday #art #himalayanmonal #pangolin #cubansolenodon

All the hand spun, handwoven pieces have come together to make a round cushion taking inspiration from plants. As all the handwoven circular pieces are unique, so no two cushions can be the same. #handspun #handwoven #circular #cushion #handmade #textiles #plants #unique #Interiors

Another day in the studio with my Serbian princess

Another day in the studio with my Serbian princess, the best studio dog in the world! She was the inspiration for one of my new limited edition fabric prints available in four different sizes.

It’s so exciting when pieces of ceramics make it

It’s so exciting when pieces of ceramics make it through the kiln twice and especially since this is my first pinched tall pot using the sgraffito technique. It’s been inspired by the Bali myna, Narcondam hornbill and American white ibis birds. #ceramics #sgraffito #vase #pottery #birds #handmade

Everywhere I travel, I always carry a making project. There is something so satisfying about being on a journey and creating something. The conversations with those I visit and the places feel like they become interwoven in my work somehow. Being handmade, every single one of these woven pieces is unique. Planning to incorporate these in to a cushion cover. #handmade #handspun #handwoven #alpaca #textiles #wool #fiber #journey

It is so satisfying finding new ways to reuse and

It is so satisfying finding new ways to reuse and recycle when making my work, this Pangolin, which has been constructed using contact lens packaging. They are such majestic animals yet two species of Pangolins are listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. This piece will also be in this year’s Prism exhibition.
