Inspirations



I have always loved History, Literature and Art.........................................................................................................
beautiful things, the stuff of dreams..................................................

flowers, butterflies, fairy tales, embroidered fragments, Chinese blues, Botticelli angels, Blake's visions, Burne-Jones pictures............................................................................................

amongst many other hints and wisps of the past..........................

to catch in my net and weave into mydesigns..................

which I hope others might find as beautiful as their inspirations.

CCAD Alumni evening......

Revisited the scene of the crime.......!!!!

On Tuesday evening I returned to CCAD to see this years exhibition (some lovely work as usual-eapecially the beautiful fairy tree world created by a fellow CCAD Green Lane foumdation student), pick up my Professional Studies and  meet my lovely degree tutor Claire and technician Catherine (who is now working as a tutor and promoting a gallery in Barnard Castle as well as producing beautiful artwork) and students from my course. It was lovely to see everybody and catch up. Beverley has done a brilliant job setting up her stamping business , whilst Jackie continues to go from strength to strength with her furnishings(it was so nice to catch up with her at Catherine's workshop a few weeks ago). Joy and Coleen have built on their undergraduate succes and have yet again been selected as finalists in a major UK competition. Mavis as always is master of many talents and has produced jewellery as well as bespoke cushions for various clients. Such a talented group to have studied with...!!!!!

    Hi Chris, it was a lovely evening but very short. I saw you come in but was discussing the Harrogate Home & Gift with Jayne and then everyone dispersed to go to the shop and creative lodge and before I knew it the time was up and I had to dash for my train. I am sure we will meet up at the next alumni function.
    hope all is well with you and thanks for your lovely blog comments, I do love writing a blog nice to know someone reads it xx
