Hi #PortfolioDay! :)

I'm a sculptor and dollmaker in rural Scotland who works with paper mache most of the time. I make gremlins and all sorts of odd little critters!

Please join us in bidding a happy farewell to our geese guests! They came to us unexpectedly last month when a homesteader surrendered his severely neglected animals to us. We knew we couldn’t keep them permanently but also knew we couldn’t let them die there.

'Island Lake, California' - an aerial embroidery commission from last September I haven't shared yet! The right hand side was a nightmare at times, very busy with textures and elements and odd shapes. I hope it came out effective though? I don't have much experience in rocky landscapes :)

I love finding driftwood along the Thames 🌊

Painting unique shapes and colours on these river finds. The grain and texture of the wood creates a weathered backdrop that frames my designs perfectly 🎨

You'll NEVER guess what happened between the first picture and the second and third ones, so let me give you a clue: it does not involve Lumi being a good boy.

First sunny day this year I think, so spent a lot of it outdoors! 10 miles of trail running through craggy woodlands and mucky fields, then back home to pick up the dog & camera before heading out again :')

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea
