Spiral Brain. paper, thread, fabric and pen on paper.

framed work!

The lovely Brigid was kind enough to allow me to photograph this work on her wall. So nice to have a work 'finished' in this way - stay tuned for other framed works! (There's a few on the go!)

I am stuck between two titles:

(fruit-buds that whimper).
or
fruit is a lie!

Both made me think of this work. Isn't it just ridiculously cute? It's silly really, how cute it is.

beanman!! (or actually i think it is peas ...)

new work!

I finally had my patience tested with this work - it has taken me days instead of hours, and many tweezers, broken matchsticks (for the gold dots!) and pawing through numerous books to find the 'right' jewel for the masked cat's royal dress - i can't think of what it would be called (let me work on that).

This work was a huge challenge for me but i think it was worth the hard work! I love the diptych (these are two separate pieces to be shown together) and the relationship between the two.

laser sneeze

this little guy is so small (5 x 6.5 cm) that i couldn't scan him without losing the quality of the image and the gold, so apologies for it being a wee bit darker than my regular scans - at least this way you get the sparkly goodness of the gold in it!

other dimensions.

Finally, we find out where the rabbit ended up from it's encounter with mama rabbit in july 2009. Poor little bugger has been floating around the ether for over a year! (or at least in a tiny zip lock bag.

this work is approx 12.7 x 10.7 cm.

very similar to a work i made for a c3 show i was involved in from about a year back - unfortunately that work didn't fit into the scanner and then it (fortunately) sold before i could get a proper image of it!

*on hold*

stickhead

still trying to title this one; unfortunately 'stickhead' is incredibly catchy ...

look what came in the mail!

recently I conducted an art swap with the lovely tai snaith - you may find the man below familiar, he is, as we have said, the man to my woman. I also snapped up this cute and wonderful piece 'the enormous shadow', which i simply had to have. You can see more of Tai's work on her website. Thanks Tai! xxx

I collect scissors.

This was my plan for having a wall of scissors, all shapes and sizes - a pair for every occasion!
