Creative Flow

The process of creating something with the hands is an externalisation of the inner self. If we are tense or tired then it can reflect in our work. Stitches will echo that sensation, brush strokes will seem jagged and clumsy and so on.
If the mood is gentle and relaxed then the artistic ability seems to stream through your work creating a sense of visual joy in the physical creation and the very fibre of the finished piece radiates a sense of love and well being.
Create with joy and your work shall be a testimony to the spirit of the artist.

Wilfred Toadlfax of Brambley Hedge

This is my latest make, he is a darling little felt mouse in denim fabric dungarees and a stretchy stiped top. He is a character from the Brambley Hedge series.

This is my latest card made for a challenge on paper craft planet. It is vintage style and i have used the new tim holtz crackle glaze to age the frame and sentiment.

This is the shabby chic tree i made for this christmas. I bought a basic wicker tree with lights inside it and covered it with hand tied tulle bows, handmade tags and gold birds. I had to take the picture in a darkened room so its a little grainy.
