My studio

Some paper I've been printing on using some of my husbands green wood offcuts and a lino cut. Gold and white - a bit Christmassy now but what do you think?

I’m ever so excited today as I’m making some mobiles for a shop in London – I’ll post more details later – and they’re asking for some lovely new colour ways. I took my camera out to my studio today to snap some of the plastic bottles I’ve been sorting out. I need some nice silvers, greys and dark black to contrast with them now. I’m going to have to do a trawl around my local hairdressers!

Lovely pastelly and warm pinks and yellow plastic bottles for a couple of mobiles going to London.

As my camera was out there I started snapping some of the things that are in progress / generally just lying around and here are some of the pictures I took. My studio is always so busy and full – and a real mess to anybody else! – that it’s nice to see little areas sectioned off by themselves on their own, not surrounded by everything else.

Some offcuts from making a drip-drop mobile... I love the shapes and colours all together

Some beautiful wooden shapes which I snaffled from our kindling, brought home from my husbands workshop. Offcuts! Too beautiful to be burnt!

Some shapes which all happened to land here - I think I'll glue them down like this

A collage I was working on the other day but decided I didn't like it - but then when I saw it today I decided it's not as bad as I thought!
