Adventures in Papergirl, now complete.
P-p-papergirl! A due date that had seemed quite far away at the start of the year got very close very quickly (and was also pushed fowards a month…or am I losing my mind?) but I got what I wanted to get into the exhibition and that was held on Friday, 1st June 2012. It was a lot

The travelling book collective
A couple of months ago I signed on to made. creative space’s Journal Project and have been lucky enough to convince three other artists to collaborate with me on this via the post.

Crafternoon Feb 11th; Lantern decoupage
The very cool and switched on Alison Mooney from MARS invited me to go dumpster diving recently. Look what I found! Today I do something new. Just what I’ve always wanted, one of those things. But in decoupage. So, I went to some sites to find out how to decoupage. Because there’s nothing I like better
