The first big March event was the culmination of 'Spreading Wings' the community art project I coordinated for International Women's Day. The concept was to work collaboratively to create a fibre sculpture in a series of free textile art workshops. Eight workshops were held and over thirty people participated, learning textile art techniques and contributing to the sculpture. The unveiling was held on the eve of International Women's Day.

Blue & White Birthday

Today is my mother’s birthday  - Happy Birthday, Mum. Going strong and creative at 88!  This morning, I uncovered my embroidery which I have been “working on” for a few birthdays now.

Hope you and all those who love "blue and white" enjoy it.     Link : http://www.etsy.com/treasury/NTcyNDAwNHwyNzIxNTA0NDg5/willow
