A sneaky peek

I've been invited to take part in a group exhibition called "Bees In The Woods" at the ONCA Gallery in Brighton, by the lovely and talented Mia Underwood. It will be on from Friday 4th- Monday 14th October, with the private view from 6:30pm on Friday 4th. 

There will be all kinds of things going on on the night, as well as throughout the show: book signings, crafty workshops, performances...plus 10% of all sales goes towards LASI research (University of Sussex) to help save our British bees! Check here for full listings.

Here's a sneaky peek of what I've been making. The Bee bag Oki is modeling is a collaboration between myself and my partner Sam :)

Only a week to go and still so much to do!!

Art in Brixton

I'm crossing the river this Sunday, to take part in Art in Brixton, where I will be showing and selling a few limited edition prints, along with some other talented arty friends (The friends aren't for sale, but their work will be!) 
It will take place at Windrush Square, just outside the Ritzy cinema in the heart of Brixton, between 11am-4pm. Please pop along if you're in the area :)


Some good news - "Into the Woods" will carry on through June and possibly July too, so there's still a chance you can get hold of some lovely treats! 

Into The Woods shop!

We have now moved into our new home, hooray!
It was a full-on super chaotic busy sleep deprived weekend. It took me all week to pack up my studio, which left me with 1 day to pack up the rest of the flat!
In between packing and cleaning the flat, I went to Brighton for the day and popped into the artist open shop "Into the Woods". I thought the shop window looked great, and inside it was crammed full of a whole variety of lovely treats. Lots and lots of fun :)
It's on until the end of the month so please pop by if you have the chance!

If you go down to the woods this weekend...

...you'll meet these felt toys! I've been making extra toys for "Into the Woods" which will be in the shop this weekend. Please pop in if you're in Brighton for the weekend :)

What I wore today

I've got so much work to do but couldn't resist stepping out the flat for a bit to feel the sun on my skin :) 
I'm finding it surprisingly difficult to draw my growing belly. I end up looking HUGE!


"Into the Woods" has been mentioned in the Selvedge blog, hooray! 
Mia has told me 4 knitted toys and 2 felt toys have so far found new homes :)

The Green Parent

"Into the Woods" is on the front page of The Green Parent magazine website! And they've used my 3 felt bears picture yay :D

Into The Woods...opening 7th May!

Here's the flyer for the Artist Open Shop "Into the Woods" that I am taking part in throughout May. We got on the train to Brighton last weekend with a suitcase full of knitted toys, and a bag full of felt toys, a selection of limited edition prints, original artwork and greeting cards. 
I'm hoping to visit the shop later on in the month, as I'd like to see how it's all looking, with all the other artists' work too :)
There is also a facebook page, if you'd like to see more pics. Just look for "Into the woods - Artist Open Shop, May 2011".

some new things

I will have some original artwork and new greeting cards for sale at the Artists Open Shop next month.

Getting ready...

..."Bubbles" will soon be available as a limited edition Giclee print :)

...some new additions to the felt toy family.

...I found a lovely old suitcase in a local secondhand shop - perfect for my traveling knitted toys :)


My studio (and head) have been a complete mess, getting stuff ready for the Artists Open Shop "Into the Woods", which will take place in Kolkata Fairtrade shop in Brighton throughout the month of May. We're heading down tomorrow to set up, and I still have lots to do!!

Into The Woods

I will be taking part in an Artists Open House "Into The Woods" in Brighton during the month of May, so have been busy busy preparing for it. I'm planning to include some original artwork, limited edition prints, greeting cards, felt toys and knitted toys for sale. 

Below are 3 small new illustrations...

I went along last year and thought it looked great, so am super happy to be taking part in it this year :)
