I have added a large number of fabric covered, leather covered and denim covered books to my Sale & Clearance page of my online shop. There are great bargains to be had by all.
To reflect the changing UK environment I have created a special shop page for my range of Face Masks, see here. I offer three different types of fastening for the wearer to optimise comfort - one tie, two ties and elastic. I am also offering the opportunity for you to have your own message collaged onto the front of the mask, see here & here. There are endless opportunities for you to have your own message, promote a sports team or create a group identity of your own.
I am holding an end of Lockdown Alfresco Workshop Fest over three weeks in July and August. We will be outdoors under gazebos and so social distancing and other precautions will be easy to achieve. I am giving a special festival discount of 15% from the normal price and so all places will be just £55. The dates are as follows:
Sunday 26 July : Printing on Fabric & creating a textile collage.
Tuesday 28 July : Liven up your water colour with mixed media.
Thursday 30 July : Book making using recycled materials.
Saturday 1 August : Art Journaling.
Sunday 2 August : Book making using recycled materials
Tuesday 4 August : Printing on Fabric & creating a textile collage.
Thursday 6 August : Textile Flower collages.
Saturday 8 August : Book making using recycled materials.
Sunday 9 August : Printing on Fabric & creating a textile collage.
Details of the workshops can be found here. They may be booked here.
I have been using larger envelopes to create some Big Books which are approx. 11"x 8". The signatures are bound and cased in a recycled hard back book cover. I have used various tweeds to create slip covers for them. Inside the pages have maps, music and miscellaneous stampings for interest. All of these books are one-offs and with other new work may be seen in my Lockdown Shop.
In response to requests I have produced a new batch of greeting cards with the full "Odd is Good, Quirky is Better, Weird is Best" message on the front. It can be seen here and purchased here. In response to the current climate I have added "Imbroglio" & "Farrago" to my Greetings Card range. They can be seen here and they may be purchased in my Greetings Card shop here. I recently came into a stash of postage stamps and have been having fun making up some greetings cards using them. They may be seen here and purchased here.
I have designed a new shoulder bag with an adjustable strap which is available together with other new items in my Lockdown Stuff.
All of my products are available in my on line shop.
Examples of previous commissions can be seen here.
Many show organisers have moved online temporarily but they are optimistic of holding events as the year progresses. I will continue to keep my schedule of bookings for this year up to date accordingly. Some of the Amdur shows in Chicagoland have been rescheduled for later in the year and the new dates are also reflected in this schedule.
I have an ongoing requirement for new or used envelopes. All sizes are welcome and any quantities will be gratefully received. I am also always grateful for any hard back books or fabrics you are able to donate. Hopefully we will soon be able to make arrangements to deliver or for me to collect your offerings.
I have had an unprecedented long run of continuous garden time and have been able to complete a comprehensive weeding, thinning out and cutting back exercise throughout the garden. I continue to add photos to the Garden page of my website. I also have a special page of items related to Gardening on my website which is here.
Are you a member of a group? I am available to give talks and demonstrations both during the day and in the evenings. Contact me to make arrangements.
I add to my blog regularly and these postings may be seen on my website.
If you have any queries on any of these matters feel free to contact me.
