Columbina



This painting is from one of my antique books, a porcelain figurine of Columbina. I was inspired by the colours and the sense of movement.

Time to Remember



The camera misted up and gave this poppy embroidery an ethereal quality which I felt was appropriate to the subject.

Shrouded in Mystery







This print was created by wrapping a large rusty nail and red hypericum leaves in cotton fabric.I bound the whole thing with elastic bands and left it in water overnight, the fabric was double sided so that when  opened out, the image was mirrored. The action of nature on materials can produce interesting images which are open to interpretation by the imagination.
