Thames Festival up and coming

I've been super busy as I have been preparing for this weekend and next at the Thames Festival, with We Make London.

I will be selling this weekend from 11am until 9pm by the beautiful Bernie Spain Gardens, last year it had some amazing music, I can't wait to see what is going on this year!

I have been busy making lots of brooches and even some new designs too.

These are very fiddly to make but I was so happy with the results...I now need I photo shoot for these little guys and girls!

I hope to catch you over at the Thames Festival this weekend...if you do find me please come and introduce yourself, I would love to say hi!

School Fairs

I'm used to having a stall in a market place but as soon as I do a family orientated event I'm a bit lost. I know as a parent, the kids come first and if they are happy we are happy. So with my first school fair, even though I'm in the Designer Makers area, I thought I would try and caterer for the little people.

I have be up late designing and making a few bits that I hope the kids will like and hopefully not just the girls.

Not only have a got lots of design your own heart badges but cars too!

I also have decorate your own garden stakes complete with magic beans! The garden stakes could also double as a book mark, wall decorations or even a magic wand!

I will be at Preston Manor Lower School, this Saturday the 22nd June 11am-2pm

I can't move!

I've been helping at the pop up shop, making, creating new designs and selling at Camden market.

I now have so many things out I can't move!

So I moved into the kitchen and made some chocolate and banana muffins!

Bad Morning????

Hello all

After a morning of trying to get a new piece drawn up I was up and painting which was a lovely feeling then I got a bit carried away and didn't wait for my work to dry! Which ended up in a bit of a smudgy mess :-(
 
 So instead of throwing it away I decided to experiment a bit....and again a bit of a mess!

Grand old mess!

 But it was just nice to throw around the inks and paint without a care. So then I started another piece and made a hash of that too...ok I'm now very frustrated and feeling very angry. So I took my anger and attacked a couple of pieces of paper and now I feel much better!

Queen Bee

 I stopped trying to be neat and had some fun!

Colours

Just when you thought spring was on the way, it has turned cold again..bbbrrrrrr

Last week we had warm weather of 18c which is light jumper weather, no coats, boots, scarfs etc then Sunday something happened it got so cold it tried to snow! And as I write this it is trying again!

We need spring to come so I have found a few new colours to brighten up the day....

In the mix I have added some other greens and blues to show the different tones.

Here are a couple of my new pieces that I have painted with some of the up and coming trend colours, Emerald Green, Colbolt Blue and an old favourite of mine teal.

Fingers crossed for a warmer week or even better a warmer weekend!
