are much underrated, as I'm discovering as I learn to work with feathers, furbelows and frills... This is a prototype silk paper and feather flower for a fascinator. I love its exuberance. I'm also grateful for having done a few floristry classes; there is a lot of similarities between hat making and floristry, when it comes down...

Green 29 days of Instagram photos - a challenge by Chantelle What do you think about online participation projects? Right now I've joined several that caught my attention from either a friend's FB entry or a blog post. Don't know exactly what it is that 'speaks' to me about these particular challenges. Is it because it's fun to be part of someone ...

Participation projects . . . do you like them?


wrapped votive candles - reminded me of shipping containers Famine then feast - the story of my studio life lately. No work in January, a tad in February and slamming in March. Have just finished up some great projects - for Surface Design Association - WA symposium Surface Matters and Seattle Children's Hospital. Now the studio's quiet – I'm ge...

Famine, now feast, fun times ahead!

I have been studying color theory as it relates to needle felting and I wanted to share my experiences. First of all, as a quilter and fabric dyer, I have been coloring fabric and using color theory for years now. As a quilter, you can go into a fabric store, purchase a pretty print, add fabrics that coordinate with that print and yo...

Color Magic for Felters


I've been a bit of a tart when it comes to thread, mixing and matching to suit myself. A bit like a child in a sweetshop, I've bought a bit of this lovely lemon, a bit of that tantalising turquoise... ignoring the brand, except where I've had problems; one problem means no more thread from that manufacturer. It isn't very forgiving, pe...

This weekend was the 75th A&P Show (that's short for Agricultural & Pastoral) held at Wanaka. Last year, over 15,000 people attended and there were probably more this year. Quite an achievement, since only around 7000 people live in the area. Wanaka town lies at the southern end of Lake Wanaka in Central Otago. It is...

Weekend at Wanaka


...with a bit of help from me. I'm starting to work towards an exhibition called 'Blossoming'; it's no surprise, then, that I'm making flower images. This one is being printed out on canvas on Big Bertha, my Epson 7880. At 24 inches, this is the widest I can print to, with no limit to the length. This means that I can work ...

Within the next couple of months life on St. Croix will change. Hovensa, the oil refinery, will close its doors for good. Hovensa’s presence over the past 40 years has helped shape life on the island in ways large and small. By employing a couple of thousand people, Hovensa has been a major employer on island. It has ...

Hovensa: Beginning to Say Good Bye


are wonderful things, so I thought I would show you some more of my collection. These are chocolate brown Art Deco glass buttons (or that is what they were sold as...they certainly have an Art Deco look about them). One of them is slightly chipped, but the rest are fine. I love the way they curve and catch the light. Delici...

is everybody's favourite whipping boy. Extensive European legislation has meant lots of work for lots of people. I'm here to say, though, that you can't legislate against stupidity. I stuck my arm in a Burco boiler and got it scalded for my trouble. What was I thinking??? Not a lot, clearly. I've been working a ...

...that's me, apparently. I went to a vintage fair today with a couple of friends. Held in a large church hall, it looked for all the world like the worlds' most expensive jumble sale. There was the occasional gem...like a Frank Usher top, far too small for me but incredibly beautiful; if Robin had a Proper Job, I would have boug...

I made this convergence-style quilt (in the style of Ricky Tims) some years ago, but have only just bound it. Its name is taken from the quilting design, which I may have invented. Click on the image for a closer look. It's entirely fused, not sewn, and made from 2 pieces of hand dyed fabric. I'm making an effort to complet...
