Le Button!
Today it took me three attempts and 20 minutes to sew a button on a coat! That’s not normal, I know! It was exceptional circumstances, I was standing in the vestibule of a fast moving train surrounded by commuters whilst wearing the darn coat. I’m sure I provided entertainment, or inspired someone somehow, I like […]

Stones and pebbles
I’ve been busy trying out some new ideas and this is a sneak preview of one of them. The texture of this pot matches that of the most popular design of coasters I make. It reminds me of pebbles so I thought I’d share some of my favourite pieces that fit in with the pebble / stone […]
