Skill sets among artists are often transferable between crafts.
I specialise in serti silk painting technique which is often likened to the tube lining technique used in quality decorative ceramics.

A few of my favourite commissions which just happen to be scenes!
In some ways silk painting can be very similar to watercolour painting and surprisingly different too! It’s perhaps not so surprising that painting scenes is a natural progression for me to follow.

Square scarves revival!
Traditionalist among us will say they never went away but the latest is they are very much back in. Truly versatile the square can be worn in the same way as a long scarf, wrapped around as a neck scarf and, of course, as a glamorous movie star head scarf #silk

Try & keep up Kat! 😻
Coco & her awesome floofiness walking in the garden. A little milder today up here in the Moorlands and a few bulbs tentatively showing green shoots 🌱🐾

Beautiful sunny winter day in The Staffordshire Moorlands yesterday. Loving the frost art on the outside of the croft windows! ❄️🌞😎
