My niece is having her kitchen tea tomorrow – I printed a card for her (not finished yet) and thought I would print some matching wrapping paper – above. I made the lino blocks years ago so it was nice to get them out to use again. While in print mode, I added some colour […]
This is the gorgeous Christmas decoration I received from Suzanne. On the back (below) she’s hand embroidered part of the chorus from the Christmas carol: We Three Kings of Orient Are. I’m very impressed – its beautifully done and I love it – thankyou Suzanne! Yesterday I tutored a workshop for the 84 Group on […]

Inside there are 2 pockets, one zipped. The green frill is silk organza. Below: a scarf I recently made with […]

The design is inspired by fragments of bobbin lace found in the Batavia shipwreck off the WA coast.The 90 x 130cm cotton fabric was dyed with Napthols, silkscreen […]
