The last few months have been taken up with study and model making. I have loved coming up with an idea for a flower shop for a shopping centre. I have used a lot of quilling flowers I made a number of years ago waiting for the right moment to use them. There is decoupage on the little wooden chair.
The flower pots are beads and small flowers used for dolls house miniatures 1:12 scale. The outside is polypropelene so that you can see into the inside all around. The green is made from pan scourers.
For over 40 years I have been using Art as my form of relaxation. Every day I spend hours working on new ideas and challenging my creative powers. It is the most rewarding thing in my life and I am blessed to have the gift. Also I am proud of my two very gifted children who are achieving in their lifetime what I would like to have been able to achieve.

Where my work is taking me today
I am starting on friday with a new programme teaching disabled people miniature gardening. I am going to do a video presentation of my visit to Madeurodam in Amsterdam. This is an amazing place which sets out the buildings etc of Amsterdam in Miniature. It is an inspiring place to visit. This is where I will take my inspiration from and work through making gardens with them. They have a new purpose built community centre with raised beds. I hope to allocate a plot in the raised bed to each one to work on their own interpretation of what a miniature garden is to them. Looking forward to it.
