Some cute dog towel origami for the 19th December online advent calendar! Love it when people make art out of everyday things. Cruise ship staff seem to be particularly talented in this. Have you ever tried creating something with a towel?
Following on from my last post, I’ve finished painting Raining Cats and Dogs and it certainly did encourage it to rain. I’m pleased to have a full water butt again, ready for another spell of sunny weather, hopefully! Here’s a slide show of the painting with different views. I did have fun painting it using …
I’ve had this raining cats and dogs painting in mind for a while. I acquired a spare piece of perspex, which seemed perfect for a glass painting. I love Magritte’s Raining Men, so got the idea for raining cats and dogs. It is of course a well known saying but thought I’d take it literally! …
Spotted this doggy in the window from the bus. He’s so cute I had to share! Art wise kingfisher’s have been popular and I’ve started some new candle holders. Thought the blue glass would work well with both kingfishers and dragonflies. Planning on painting some fish on them next.

This weeks alphabet challenge is the letter H and I found this cute hedgehog video to show you. As voting went down well last week, I thought I’d put it to the vote again. Please do choose which animal you’d like me to paint this week and put any suggestions for businesses connected to animals whose …
I’m starting to add background to more of my animal paintings now and generally pleased with the results. It can be quite tricky painting around the animals because unlike painting on paper you can’t overlap glass paint because the original colour can be seen from the other side of the glass. This means I’m unable …
Firstly I’m sorry I didn’t get round to writing a post on Friday but my exciting news is that my glassware will be available to buy in Quay Presents, down on the Quay in Exeter, very soon. I’m so pleased to have found another outlet quite quickly after Exetra closed. My space in the shop …
A shop update and new cards in today’s blog. I’ve created some new greeting card designs, including the one below, a dragonfly congratulations card, puffin love and some other quirky ones! All available at Makermart in Gandy Street, Exeter After neglecting my Etsy shop for quite a while now, I’ve decided it’s time to close …
