Crafts not just for Christmas Exhibition

I'm thrilled at the catalogue for the forthcoming crafts exhibition at Worcester City Art Gallery!

You may remember from an earlier post the gallery commissioned me to design & make a piece of jewellery to reflect the theme of the exhibition....a very sad looking cat & dog!

This brooch has been photographed and used for the invite & catalogue plus the actual piece is going to be the prize in a raffle. Entry into the exhibition & gallery is free.

It's lovely to see an image of my work used to promote what should be a fab exhibition. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to attend the opening this Friday as I'll be down in Suffolk but I'll be rushing down to the gallery on Foregate Street in Worcester next week to see the display.

Christmas Cats!

Just been looking through an old folder of designs & found these xmas cats from years ago!!

I don't remember ever putting them into 'production'?

Think they would look groovy as some wrapping paper maybe??

It's funny how you re-discover things....

I'm planning to have a MAJOR sort out after Christmas so who knows what treasures I'll find?

Just completed the Welsh alphabet cards. These are the additional designs in English. Slightly more unusual designs than my original alphabet. Rather like the jackdaw which is "Jac-y-Do" in Welsh.

The Gallery Upstairs exhibition

Hello

Sorry not been around for couple of days due to horrible cold cough throat thing! Back now....

Popped to the private view in Henley in Arden on Sunday - phew! How busy??? I didn't stay very long as I was worried I would have a coughing fit but all the work looked fab! People were queueing up to make purchases & I did spy a couple of red dots on my work so a good sign....

The exhibition opens tomorrow 10th November & runs until the 28th November.
