(This picture was taken while I was at college experimenting with the black and white photo developing, the rip in the film was when I was a little heavy handed with the squeegy tongs)
My career didn’t really go down the path I
intended it to go having been a chef, a shop assistant, an undergrad geology student
at the age of 29, carrying on to do a Masters, then being a geologist. There were lots of elements of art and drawing in geology
which still allowed me to be a bit creative and a bit of a science geek too. Using both sides of the brain!(This picture was taken in Death Valley in California on a 3 week geology field trip through 4 states in 2006)
Now I look like this most days, working outside and getting covered in mud.
I still like making cards occasionally but I’ve found my expressive arty feet again. (Here is a link to my Oil painting page) It’s the blog hopping that’s done it,
I just see some amazing creativeness on the blogs and it gets my creative mind
running a riot..........and it’s ADDICTIVE.
I’m always fired up when I see something that makes me think.......ooooo
I wanna do that!.......and I can’t wait to have a go. That inspiration moment
just makes you sit up and rub your hands together instantly, then you do
everything with excited giddiness until you’re right in the thick of it....with
no concept of time.....3 hours later you emerge with a wondrous creation......then
you sit back and stare at it from every angle.
THEN............you gotta tidy up! Booo hisss
This is my crafty space. My son moved out and I converted into my craft room :)

Update 2024
Now I make pottery at home after work. I always have lots of orders, but I try and keep it not too busy, because I love the hobby, and dont want it to get too busy. :)
