Blip


Blip is a house dweller who joined a happy band of 'Hoohahs'. Together, their sole mission in life is to find and rescue Dust-Bunnies and save them from that biggest of foes called the Mighty Vaccuum. 


Blip doesn't have any eyes, but uses his big blue nose to sniff out any dust-bunnies who need rescuing.

With the roll of 4 dice the thread was chosen.

With a random alphabet lucky dip the stitches were chosen.

The result is a fun new way for me to create freeform.


I thought this was going to be a tissue box cover, but the randomness and innovative way of working 'told' me it wanted to be an extravagant necklace.

Castles, Turrets & Towers


My imagination running wild and having fun. 

Old versus New  -   Ancient versus Modern  -   Ruin versus Pristine  -  Plain versus Bold

The Brilliance of Love

 

This brilliance within me…. is LOVE

This fire in my heart….. is HONOUR

This river in my blood.. is COURAGE

This pulse in my veins.. is AMBITION

This fibre in my bones….. is STRENGTH

This creativity in my mind..… is PASSION

This thought in my head…. is KNOWLEDGE

These outstretched hands…..…. are HUMILITY

This weight on my shoulders………... is DIGNITY

This view in my sight……….…. is ANTICIPATION

These tears in my eyes.………... are SORROW

This twinkle in my eye…….. is HAPPINESS

These steps I take…….. are DEVOTION

This song on my lips…. is EMOTION

This spirit in my soul…. is LIFE

This vessel of life…. is ME

This life of mine……...…  loves YOU

Heatwave Necklace

Town folk searching for a breath of cool air
Take off to the beach without a care
Melting ice-creams drip from the cone
No respite from the heat
We go home
Aircon struggles to cool us
The heat still addles the brain
Sweat pouring, garden wilting
Eager for some rain.

The Life Cycle of a Leaf

From a newly unfurling pale green leaf, to the white/grey decaying leaf skeleton. 
This work depicts the ever changing pattern of a leaf, from its resplendent beginnings to its ultimate decomposition. 
I follow the leaf as it changes shape and colour through the months, the changing seasons, and the changing weather patterns of a year.
The central leaf skeleton is an homage to every leaf which withers away beneath the tree that first gave it life, 
and returns its nutrients to the earth to be passed on to the next generation of foliage.

Wall hanging size: 24" x 24" (610mm x 610mm)
