This project is part of a HOPE tree I am making for the Park in Templemore. I started in July this year an hope to have this final piece in place in December.
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.

In lock down it is hard to get to a garden centre so I brought the garden to myself using drinking straws and artificial flowers. Enjoying it.

Before Lockdown I was in the middle of planning an event for Heritage Week in August. The brief was to depict buildings in Templemore that were burned during the time. An exhibition was planned for August so we will have what see what happens. I have been working from photos of the time.

Some of my work from 2017. This piece was chosen for publication in Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine USA this year. It was a weaving challenge and they chose 10 submissions to publish. This is a worldwide magazine for mixed media artists to showcase their work. This is the second time I have made the top with them. Air drying clay and weaving was used in this piece.
This find was brought back to life painted with Annie Sloan chalk paints and beautiful upholstery fabrics

April the month of Fairies
This month is the start of an exhibition of the world of fairies as seen by our world. Here are a few of the completed projects I have been making. The book is an old ledger from 1930. I drilled pilot holes and then cut out the pages with an exacto opposite knife. I stuck the pages together. Then added the embellishments to complete.
