I’ve just completed my second audio poem, the Butterfly Cycle podcast. A little more difficult to record than my first due to sawing, drilling and general DIY going on around me! I guess that will be a positive outcome for many households while staying at home during coronavirus, with long awaited jobs getting done around …
Butterfly Farm Visit in Devon I was recently treated to a visit to Buckfast Butterflies and Otters and had a great day out. They have a variety of tropical butterflies flying around in a warm humid habitat. You get to see some up close too, as they rest. The part I found most interesting was …
I’m sorry but these original glass paintings are sold out/unavailable to buy but the artwork can still be purchased, printed on many products. Clicking the product description will take you to my Zazzle stores Original glass paintings can be purchased at Makermart in Gandy Street, Exeter, UK.
Being a keen recycler and worried about the amount of single use plastic ending up in the environment, I’ve created a new recycled product. These soap dishes are made from plastic fruit/salad punnets and painted with glass paints. As I covered in a previous post going completely plastic free isn’t necessarily the best environmental solution, …
In light of coronavirus and people having to isolate I’m creating some downloads, including a Mother’s day card. This one is to print and colour-in creating your own unique card and to help pass the time too! It is FREE to download until Sunday, so no need to go to the shops. The floral butterfly …

Sometime ago I wrote some educational poetry on a science and nature theme. Ever since, apart from one blog post, the poems have sat in a drawer! I’m excited to say however that is changing, as I got the idea to illustrate them. With the help of a teacher friend they have been banded into …
Just realised I’d promised a post on otters after writing about Buckfast butterfly and otters but I admit I’d forgotten! So here are some photos. These otters are either rescued from the wild, have been bred (some part of breeding exchanges) or just very old and in need of extra care at the sanctuary. This …
Can’t believe a month has gone by since my last post. Time goes far too quickly! I continue to add to my website and a new product is animal colouring in stickers for people to personalise. Children like my animal art but of course glass is not always appropriate! With these animal stickers that’s …
Just listed a new poppy vase on my website. I do love red poppies, although I have yellow ones at the front of my house, so maybe I should paint yellow ones next! Recently I’ve seen some beautiful wild flower meadows, which included poppies. It’s great that these are being planted, as they not only …
