I managed to get to see See Monster art installation at Weston-super-Mare last week. It was great, a creative use of an old oil rig. Just very sad that it couldn’t last and is now being recycled, melted down. So for those that didn’t get to see it, here’s some photos It was a grey …
Happy New Year and thanks for your support. Wishing you all the best for 2022. 2021 hasn’t been an easy year worldwide but I’m feeling more positive going forward. I was going to do this as one of my rare newsletters but I couldn’t get into my mailchimp account, which kinda sums up 2021! i’m …
I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas, time has whizzed by since my last blog post! The good news is that all is going well at MakerMart shop, as well as online. I’ve recently been getting regular sales. This includes from Zazzle, which is great, considering I’ve not been working on it as much as I’d …

Another one of my lockdown projects was to make a fern stencil print to freshen up some wallpaper. The hall wallpaper had been scraped in a couple of places and showing green in a patch where I’d wiped it! Not exactly relishing the idea of having the whole lot repainted, I got the idea to …
Exciting changes with a new website host, which has allowed me to create a new website for international customers at reasonable cost. Find the site at my .com domain animalglassdesigns.com. It means I can now remove the duplicate zazzle.com links on my .co.uk site. Hopefully this will make it clearer, less cluttered and even speed …
I hope you’ve had some happy times this Easter despite the pandemic. I’m still yo-yo-ing, very much up and down but each day usually find something to make me smile, especially now it’s Spring. I love this Easter display at Topsham Museum in Devon, created by the volunteers. The museum is currently closed but you …

There’s nothing like Christmas lights to lift the spirits and I think needed more so this year. So I’m thankful a friend suggested it and I ventured out. It started with a rare visit into the town centre. These are at Princesshay, Exeter. We then went to Myrtle Road where every year a couple do …
