A selection of my wildlife ceramic sculptures from over the years. My work is on hold at present, while I care for my mum. I miss my creative life, I miss the clay!

Playing around with some old cyanotypes recently, which had been over exposed. Lightened/bleached in a bath of diluted soda crystals, which brought out the image and gave an alternative yellow tone than the usual blue of cyanotype. I'm looking forward to experimenting some more this summer.

Painted for a wonderful patron who requested a hopeful faery... a faery of light, a faery of warmth, of love, of hope and happiness. A faery who welcomes back the light, pushes back the darkness and sings songs of wishes for the future. Happy holidays, merry Xmas, happy Yule to all.

I'm reposting this piece I wrote for The Observer about my father and dementia...and spoons. The conversations I've had since publication with other carers has been very moving. Perhaps if you're a carer you will find some solace in these words:

This very engaging lecture by one of my favourite children's authors, A.F.Harrold, shows us all how amazing our imagination can be if we just set it free!
Just before Christmas I gave the University of Reading's annual Children's Winter Lecture, and you can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExBN...
I talked about imagination, working with Emily Gravett and @mini3grey.bsky.social, read some poems, pointed at some kids and generally had some fun.

Too many unpaid carers are already under extreme pressure, with little to no effective support. Just imagine, with an already failing social care system, what would happen if we were to walk away tomorrow. With how much we contribute to the economy every year, we deserve SO much better!

This is so beautiful! Please support independent makers and traders. They need it far more than the big guys, and you get something more original and unique, with a little piece of their soul ❤️
It would be so great if you could RT my Etsy shop in the twoots below/above. My🌲 jewellery orders usually make up a significant part of my income at this time of yr but the X exodus has meant I’ve only received 1 order-pretty scary income-wise. A small boost would help so much. Thankyou🌿

It's one of my favourites! I have it on DVD, & it's become a bit of a Christmas tradition, but this year, I think I shall wait & watch it as & when it's shown on TV, the old-fashioned way... has it really been 40 years?!!

So many folks haven’t clocked that there has been a seismic change in the landscape of social media. People don’t want an app that just advertises Mr Beast to them the same way they don’t want one that just yells the N-word at them while trying to convince you Trans folk are bad actually. We’re done

Took some time for myself recently, away from caring for my mum. For one afternoon a week, I join a sketching group in our village, I could do it at home, but there's always other distractions. So I thought I'd share the latest, an illustration of my dog Gracie, she's quite a character!
