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 always enjoy creating commissions for customers. It is fun determining what they want. Sometimes the customer is quite specific about her requirements but other times I have to lead her through the process. In either case I don't start until we are agreed about the specifications! Examples of previous commissions can be seen here. Email me to discuss your ideas and requirements.
For those who want to order from my website I will be able to mail to UK customers until September 30 and then again after October 22. I will be able to mail to US customers from 5 October.
My other products may be ordered from the following shops on my website:
Art Journals - themed
Art Journals - places
Large Journals
Denim Covered Books
Leather Covered Books
Textile Collages with Calligraphy
Art Aprons
Shoulder Bags
I also have some special offers on Books and Mounted Textile Collages.
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, which could range for 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. If you can't make a visit I have set up a page on my website devoted to my Studio Workspace and it may be seen here! I suggest that "clean and tidy freaks" give this a miss!
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 added a new title, "Former Lovers", to my Little Leather Books series. It can be purchased along with the other titles here.
I have created a new 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 for her recent contributions.
Early Autumn (Fall) pictures of my garden may be seen here.
If you have questions on any of these matters feel free to contact me.
