How about giving a customised version of one of my handmade books as a gift this Christmas? I will be happy to help you design an appropriate cover. Contact me to get started.
If you have a group to buy for such as family or work colleagues my Little Leather books might be appropriate. You can choose from my normal titles here or if you want something different email me to discuss.
I am delighted that my textile wall hanging "Home is where the Art is" has been accepted into the Cupola Gallery Christmas Exhibition "Home" this year. Further versions of this design are available here.
I have been cutting rubber stamps to produce words recently and then using the prints to create textile collages, such as "Route 66". Examples of these can be seen here. I can produce these in either a hanging fabric form or sewn onto card ready for framing. If you would like one of these or would like to suggest your own composition, email me and we can work out the size and format.
I am now taking bookings for those who would like to visit my UK studio in 2026. I open my UK studio to visitors and artists who would like to explore my techniques and methods. Visits are by appointment and can be for any time that suits - weekdays or weekends, and could range from a couple of hours to a full day. I will demonstrate techniques that interest you and you will be able to have a go at performing them yourself. If you would like to make an appointment contact me here. If you are nervous about access to the remote location of my house I can meet you in Combs and drive you in. There is no charge for these visits! It will also be possible to have a look at my garden on the day.
I have been asked over the years to make books with watercolour paper and now have some available. They are approximately 10" x 7" and have fabric collage "Artists" covers. Examples may be seen here. You may purchase them in the shop on my website here.
I have replenished stocks of both my standard (8"x 6") and large (10"x8") Textile Journals. They may be purchased here.
I have created a new greetings card: "Have Fun, Smile Often, Laugh a Lot". It may be purchased here. My new Chicagoland greetings cards - Chicago, Evanston, Bears, Cubs, Bulls - were popular at shows this summer and I have now added them to my online shop and they may be purchased here. I am selling the retired designs in mixed packs of 20 for just £15! They may be purchased here, at the bottom of the page.
My products are all made from recycled materials. I have an ongoing requirement for:
1. new or used envelopes. All sizes are welcome and any quantities will be gratefully received.
2. hard back books
3. fabrics including coloured bed sheets
4. denim jeans
5. in my printing I can use any papers or card such as calendars, unused paper pads, coffee table books, magazines made from heavy weight paper, unembossed wallpapers etc.
Please let me know if you can provide any of these and I will arrange to collect. Thanks to Jane C and Betty for their recent contributions.
I have added some recent Autumn pictures of my garden, see here.
If you have questions on any of these matters feel free to contact me.
