Went to Hillier's Aboretum today to see the Art in the Garden sculptures ....it was lovely and quiet and some great art pieces there this year.........I'll just let you enjoy the pics.......
and a very Fat Rat playing in our bedroom before we went .....Buddha Chunky ........x
You must have loved those dragonfly pieces. I think the fish on the unicycle is fantastic. Also, where Jim is resting in that shelter, I love constructions like that. Fat rat, boy you can say that again. He needs to join Weight Watchers with me! xox
Catching up with some beautiful thing here - love that open flower with dwarf firs growing thru & the dragonflies! Happy Belated birthday to Ruby &....a new studio? Where? What? Nothing hoarded there...yet - at least you keep your rat out in the open! ;)
Hi, Lorna. Thanks for the garden statue pictures. Some great work there. I especially like the fish. Being somewhat an expert on accumulation (comes with living in Tunisia), I can confirm that you are indeed a collector rather than a hoarder, although it's a fine line that separates the two! I enjoyed your home pictures! best, nadia

I am a qualified Textile Teacher but now I am lucky enough to follow my dream being a full time Textile Artist and I love every minute I spend creating in my studio at The West Wing. I am passionate about textiles and am privileged to share my skills with others.
I run workshops for schools, colleges and groups.
I work 1 to 1 with individuals who might want help with basic sewing or more advanced techniques.
Commissions are always welcome please get in touch with me to discuss your requirements. No textile job is too small .....:)

Thanks for taking the time to have a glimpse at my world.

Come and visit my other blog ArtyMaker..I have been lucky enough, along with 8 other Textile artists to take part in The Enliven Project....a project organised by Eastleigh Borough Council....which means that we are working as artists in residence in local Charity shops ...we will create an outfit out of goodies we find in our allocated shop which will be put on display for a month. The outfit will then be featured in the Eastleigh music Festival weekend in July
Here is the facebook page ..with lots of pics .....
