The dolls house in front of the wallpaper, i chose to display this on my greatgrandma’s table which is the age of the era i was going for with the wallpape. I think it looks great and the mirrored tiles […]

First sheet up, love it, I really do. I now have to cut the white edge off the other five rolls so i can line them all up as the printer left a 3mm gap at the side, which was […]
Managed to get everything into the studios , with a little help from my friends, as i shouldn’t really be lifting and moving things now. Picked up my finished wallpaper from the technicians office and am now pretty much set […]
Decided on the four collages i will display. I have had them made into A3 size acrylics, it was hard to pick my favorites but i decided on these after many hours of deliberation. I ordered them off the internet […]
This is another found object, an ornament that was given to me that i have covered in lips. As the two people that make up the ornament were kissing, i decided to cover it all in lips. I have used […]
No matter how many eyes i stick on this thing it is not looking like i have done a single thing to this mirror! I know it is getting there but it is actually driving me insane, my wrists hurt, […]
Starting to hate collage and eyes. There is just so much to cover and i am on the verge of giving up. If i didn’t have the vision in my head of what i wanted at the degree show , […]
I made these drawings last night using pencil, charcoal and oil paint on paper. I tried to make them quickly and resist the urge to overwork them. I’m not sure if they are very successful but working on paper seems […]
Finally i have finished the house! Really pleased, after a lot of hard work and thousands of individually cut out eyeballs, it has all paid off. The mirror tiles have finished it off a treat, reflecting all the eyes giving […]
I decided to put the bottom floor mirrors in before i had even finished sticking the eyes in, mostly because i was becoming very dejected with cutting and sticking the eyes and it still looking like i was getting nowhere […]
This feels never-ending. Just a little update, almost halfway through the bottom floor, it’s frustrating knowing that i’m over halfway but also knowing exactly how long it has taken me to get this far and how much work has gone […]
I couldn’t decide how to finish the house off then it came to me all of a sudden and i knew it would be the perfect thing for it. i chose to add mirror tiles to the floors and ceilings […]
Probably the hardest day of the entire project so far, and yet one in which I must remember a lot did get done. Hard for various reasons: it was physically long – I left the cabin at 7.15am and got […]

As part of my MA at UCS Ipswich, I’m hoping to organise and run an art class for adults. Here is the cover of the flyer which I designed through an online site. All this admin leaves little time for […]
I am delighted to announce my third publication ‘Stitch Stories’ (Batsford/Pavilion) will be available in August 2015. I have some fabulous contributors from the UK, Europe, the USA and Australia including artist and political activist Mary Fisher (USA)
For the past week the studios have been really busy, and I have managed in this time to paint my walls and the floor in my area. Extra work included painting the floor for Louise (another L6 student) as she is […]
With the canvas partially dried i tried to sketch an image onto the canvas but because the paint was still wet this wasn’t happening. I used a small paintbrush to engrave in the outline of my image with the use […]
Like Hera i tried to create a mirrored image of Ceres in pointillism. Unfortunately the degree show has been creeping up so quickly that i had to admit defeat and change the image rather than leaving it half finished. the […]
Experimenting with multiple images. I used the body from one picture and the head from another. I do not like the outcome of this image so it will not be entered into my degree show but it can coincide with […]
Athena was a great success and represented everything i was looking for in my work. I chose a similar image of the same individual and carried out the same process. Again using the same technique. the only change that i […]
