Starlings – are here again!
I’m on starlings again! During the two weeks of Somerset Art Weeks I set up a temporary studio at the Somerset Crafts gallery. Whilst I was there I made 8 starlings. I wondered how long it would be before the starlings returned from Scandinavia, Germany or the Netherlands (according to the BBC nature website the…
…and through the Woods
I made the “Forest Light” mosaic (see last post) pretty quickly, so I decided to make another small woodland mosaic. This time I wanted to introduce a sense of depth. This is “Morning haze in the Woods”. It took me 6 hours, which is quick for a mosaic! Just like “Forest Light” I have used…

Sweat and Tears – part 3
I spent some time deciding on the best way to go about fixing the smaller tears onto the big tear. It would be easier to fix the mosaic onto the tears first and then fix them onto the large (cemented) tear, the other way would be to fix the polystyrene tears onto the large poly tear…
Wake Up It’s Morning!!
I sleep like a bear in the winter holidays, but this morning my partner woke me at 8am to look at the sunrise. Bleary eyed I bumbled about, threw open some windows to the biting cold and took some pictures. Most of the photos are blurred (wouldn’t yours be if you were barely conscious?) This…
