handwashanddripdry

Well after being a member for a few years I have finally taken the plunge and set up an Etsy shop!
I named my shop handwashanddripdry, that was a few years ago, when I was thinking about selling t-shirts, these days I don't do any t-shirts, (but may do a few at some point) I shall be creating some structured textiles soon though so that sort of fits the title.
I still have a lot to do to my Etsy site but it's only the beginnings I suppose! There is so many lovely things on it though, that I'm already spending money without earning any! Oh dear!
I only have a few pieces avalable for the time being but hopefully soon shall be adding some brand new work... hmm I feel like doing some cyanotypes, collagraphs and monoprints...oh and perhaps a few watercolours too!
Watch this space!

Only Painting

Recently I was invited to exhibit as part of a group exhibition in a local pub; The Brunswick's Christmas Exhibition. I have exhibited here many times before and it's an excellent venue and has an excellent curator who goes by the name of Rose Davies.
Last year I exhibited my constructed drawings, but they take so long to create and i've been working on many projects this year and didn't have the same amount of time to put into my art as I had last year! So I decided to do some painting, a slight risk! as this is something I have never done before, well not painting directly onto canvas anyway!
There are many other artist exhibiting alongside me: Angela Blewett, Rosie Scribblah, Elissa V Evans, Paul O' Donovan, Trish Nicholls, Steven Woodman, Simon Francis, James Isles, and Doodlemum!
So here are some of my results it's quite exciting really! Whoooop!

sketchbooks

I love sketchbooks and as i seem to only work in sketchbooks for the time being i thought i would share some with you.
