Claire West brooch & some lavender envelopes

Things are still busy with work but recent things bought and made look like this.

I treated myself to this lovely ceramic bird brooch by artist friend, Claire West. I think the bird brooches were a limited line but take a look at Claire's wonderful and joyous paintings.

I have been making some lavender pouches in an envelope style with the help of some new postcard rubber stamps I bought the other week. Some are for Folksy and some for my forthcoming craft fair. (vintage peachy flowery fabric from friend Selina)

Claire West preview at Gallery 49

Tonight I'm going to a fellow ERA friend's preview at Gallery 49 in Brid. Claire & Giuliana Lazzerini are having an exhibition throughout May & June which highlights their wonderful use of colour in their paintings.


If you like colourful paintings too this exhibition will be well worth a visit.
