Needlepoint firescreen


This is a firescreen containing a needlepoint I made - the firescreen was made by an old friend of my Dad's called Yorkie. Aren't the colours in the peacocks gorgeous?

Willow pattern cross stitch


This is a cross stitch I made and framed for my Mum, it's done in teeny-tiny stitches, and it's a copy of the traditional willow pattern often found on old crockery.

Mum's mosaic clock



This is a mosaic clock that I made for my Mum a few years ago.

T for me

I was flicking through one of those glossy fashion magazines and saw a stripey t-shirt with the Rocky Horror logo on and instantly wanted it. Horizontal stripes don't flatter my, ahem, curvy figure, so I painted my own t-shirt. I'm loving it!I just realised that the photo is the wrong way round, 'cos I took it in the mirror. DOH! But note the cunning positioning of the flash...

Butterfly Bag

This is my current work in progress (now that I have disposed of the mountain of curtains). It's going to be a bag and it's for my friend C. She did most of the painting, I'm just finishing off the twiddly bits.Isn't the sparkly bronze paint gojus?

FloFoJen

This is a clipart-style drawing I did for Billingham Players' upcoming production of Glorious.
It's based on this photo of Florence Foster Jenkins.

Insomnia

Insomnia is terrible in many ways. As an on-and-off sufferer, I dread those loooooong nights desperately trying to grab a couple of hours kip. It does have a silver lining though, you get a lot done.

So last night was one of those nights. I tried ironing, I tried reading, I had a cup of hot milk, nothing worked. So I gave up and did some work on a little project I've had in my mind for a while - I created this logo for the theatre:


Any comments? What do you think? I've never designed a logo before, so anyone who knows anything about these things, please let me know if I've broken any rules, made any mistakes etc.
