What's New

Last modified on 02/05/08

Check out my latest book - 'Painting and Sculpting with Needles - Dry Felting Developments'. Available directly from me.

Latest Creations

Felt panels inspired by the neolithic stone carvings of Kilmartin, Argyll, Scotland

Each measures 60cm x 60cm, and is mounted on a box canvas. Made from Merino wool, silk fibres and fancy yarns; each is an independent composition, but can also be displayed with some or all of the others to form a longer composition. Can be seen in the 'Landscapes of Kilmartin' Exhibition during March/April 2008.

Digital Compositions based on the Kilmartin stone carvings

Each design is mounted on a box canvas

'Psycho-delic Cat' Scarf, created using 'Crepe' felt techniques, with additional bead details - the beginning of a new series of 'Flat Cat' scarves. More designs

'Spiral Fantasy' neckpiece, created using 'Nuno' felting techniques, with additional beading - the beginning of a new series of spiral neckwear. More Designs

Hats that can light up your life! I have been working 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

The last 'Hatwalk' was staged in the magnificent 'Mansfield Traquair' building in Edinburgh on 31st May and 1st June, 2006 - giving 2 matinees and 2 evening performances to a larger audience than ever before.

This time my theme was the 'Amazon', when I tried to capture some of the colour and exoticness of orchids, butterflies and a bird in the hats and garments that I created to complement the 'bossa nova' style music

A detailed look at some of my headwear from the Show

  As a result of working with felted wire, I have extended my ideas to creating, 'Fascinators' as an alternative to wearing hats. These can be worn on special occasions, or just for fun!

I recently developed ideas for one of my latest books, 'Felt Figures Great and Small', which prompted me to explore figures and glove puppets, using wet and dry felting methods.

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.

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.   

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.
