A wonderful two days play

The Collins Gallery has always been such a source of inspiration for me as a textile artist.

So few places in Scotland that have supported and inspired me as an artist.

With was with mixed emotions I attended a magnificent exhibition From Quilts to Couture in Kyrgyzstan and master class with the wonderful nuno artist Burul Mambetova.

The exhibition is on until mid September and well worth a visit for the riot of colour and variety of workmanship. A few images are included and I hope to complete the two garments made and promise to show them in a future blog.

Crafty Women of Girvan

This Saturday and Sunday saw me delighting in the company of the lovely ladies from Crafty Women. This multi talented group created a range of delightful felted items and ideas were racing.

As every I learned a lot from the sharing of ideas and solutions to suggested designs, mind you the 'fantisiser' fascinator gave us all a hearty laugh. I look forward to going back and working with the group again soon.
