Getting ready

This week I'm getting ready for Holmfirth Art Market.  I'm there next Sunday, 12th June from 10-4.  I'm really looking forward to it.  Half term off with the boys means I'm chasing my tail, but I'll get there!   I'm looking forward to finishing some new work.  I've ordered some beautiful papers from Falkiners and can't wait for the post to arrive!

ps....my roll of lovely papers came.

Paul Bailey has been kind enough to return the favour and feature me on his blog....have a look!

Treat

I treated myself to Angie Lewin's beautiful book, Plants and Places.  Well known as a printmaker and owner of St. Judes Gallery, I loved discovering that she also works with collage. The piece above is layers of Japanese papers on a found piece of 1950's formica.  Like me, she collects and uses the patterns from the inside of envelopes.  I recently found a wonderful source of papers here.  Falkiners sell beautiful papers, including some designed by Eric Ravilious, cited by Angie Lewin as an inspiration.
