I’ve had a few days away, hence not writing a blog earlier this week. The break was good, I didn’t touch a computer for 3 days! Sadly this very hot weather doesn’t suit me though, so for 2 days of the week I’ve done nothing having zero energy. I had hoped to do an open …
I’ve not exhibited in a gallery exhibition yet, so can’t really tell you the pros and cons. However I do enjoy looking round them. Gloss art in Exeter have just opened a new one displaying work from Devon based artists. I went to their open evening last night and it is definitely worth a visit, …

Having found a way of recycling some old cloudy glasses, as mentioned in my last blog, I am quite pleased with the result. I had fun, just going with the flow as the end product is for me. I love experimenting with designs and luckily with Pebeo vitrea glass paints you can wipe away mistakes …

Love these BT boxes, such a great idea.
So that I don’t miss my target of 2-3 blogs a week here is a short one. I’ve called this post ‘Crafty ups and downs’ because there are bound to be some! Since my last blog I’ve made new listings on both Folksy (made to order hand painted photo frames) and Etsy (flower champagne glasses), …
