Some time ago, I received recognition for the work I had been doing at the Grange Academy, Kilmarnock during my Residency and afterwards. I was much moved by the sincerity of the praise given, which to me showed the validity of schemes like 'Curricula for Excellence' and 'Cross-curricula' activities that are being supported by East Ayrshire Council for the enrichment of learning experiences by Staff and students alike. In these times of financial austerity the funding of such schemes by which practicing professionals work alongside and with Staff and students, should be applauded, for their insight and expertise are an investment in the future success and well-being of our Society. Thank you. I am proud and delighted to have been able to make a contribution to our Future. Latest Project at Grange Academy

Hats that can light up your life! I worked on the idea of hats that can light up - ideal for evening wear (or helping you see in the dark!). 'Shooting Star', features battery operated lights, and will be shown during the 'Crowning Glory' Travelling Exhibition throughout 2008 and 2009.
Check out details of my Solo Exhibition - 'Journeys: Realities and Imaginings' shown at Birnam Arts Centre, throughout July 2007 'Hatwalk in Wonderland' was staged in St. Stephen's Church in Edinburgh on 6th and 7th June, 2008 - giving 2 matinees and 2 evening performances.
This time my theme was the 'Cosmos', when I explored the notion of creating hats that were lit, evoking stars, planets, and such phenomena as 'Northern Lights', 'Southern Lights', and 'Green Flashes' seen at sunset over the Pacific Ocean.
See my designs at previous 'Hatwalk' events I have also developed ideas for one of my books, 'Felt Figures Great and Small', which prompted me to explore figures and glove puppets, using wet and dry felting methods.
See other Fibre Sculptures [click here] One of my ongoing projects is working on figures for an 'aerobics team'. Gosh it's hard work getting slim! Less strenuous are my current creatures which are fun to make, and are fairly uncomplicated. Click here for details Latest additions to my animal 'Kingdom' - Dragons, and New Improved Dragon Kits!

Click here for further details Check out my latest developments in jewellery [click here] RECENT DEVELOPMENTS I have been working on a new series of 'Book People', starting with characters from Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland', which were exhibited at the 2006 and 2007 Knitting and Stitching Shows in London, and Harrogate. They recently caused quite a stir when they were resurrected and shown on the 'Once Upon a Time' Stand at the ICHF 'Creative Stitches' Show, SECC, Glasgow in March 2014!
I have used old wine bottles as foundations for these figures, and have built them up with seamless felting techniques and dry needle-felting modelling. If you would like to see them in greater detail, click here.
