At the moment I am working on a my ‘Hollyhock Textile Art’ picture. This is just one of the many projects I have got on the go, hopefully all to be finished before my Open Studio to be held on 2nd and 9th September. My inspiration for this work came from two photographs I took of the beautiful hollyhocks we have growing either side of our front door. I drew my design onto a cotton sheet, then painted with thickened dyes directly onto the fabric. More work needs to be done, to get extra depth in the colours, and once this is achieved, I will add machine and hand embroidery to add little details.

Spent a very enjoyable weekend meeting the general public who visited my own ‘Helfa Gelf’ Open Studio Event. This was part of the annual event held all over North Wales, which has now been running for ten years. It gives the public a wonderful insight into where the artists do their work and to meet them personally. (for more information – Helfa Gelf Open Studios)
I have been involved in the Open Studio Event now for four years and thoroughly enjoy showing people my textile art and cushion designs, as well as explaining the processes involved with painting with thickened dyes onto fabric and adding free machine embroidery. Much of my inspiration is from nature and especially my own photography where I love taking pictures of flowers and landscape.
