i'm currently getting things ready for my stall at the Gower Rock Festival this weekend. i will be selling bags, cards, pictures and SHEEP!

newspaper nails

here's a little trick i found online. transferring newspaper onto nails using vodka. the first few attempts were a bit scrappy but still...........

GOOD BYE ROOM

my room in swansea is getting cleared out and decorated. good bye stuff.....

MORE POST OFFICE

here is some more work from the 2 week project we did with the graphics lot.

INTERNET SHOPPING. ITEM ANONYMITY. BUYER ANONYMITY.

WHAT ITEMS DO YOU WANT TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS???

sex toys

weapons

p.s both items are made entirely of newspaper and tape and, when posted, both made it back to us in one piece.

Brown paper packages.

Painting the human figure.

for a one day project titled "GREY" i worked with angie phillips and suzi moloney to put some colour into this rather dull urban scene. Laurence steven's got a steak cooked for him in return.

JULY-SEPTEMBER 2009. x

'Journeys are nothing more than a pile of plane tickets, bus stubs, restaurant bills, unused anti-diarrhea tablets, dirty laundry and a roll of undeveloped film awaiting recollection of still memories to remind us that we are all strangers all yearning for a connection.'

(i found this quote on a postcard)

some things i have left to remind me of 2 months, 10 countries, 7 currencies, 2 lost inter-rail tickets and a million good things.

& now for some cards.

some more bits and bobs to sell at the GOWER ARTS exhibition this friday (3rd Dec).

A hand-full of seagulls, cows, three cliffs and Pennard castle scenes. All done with the help of my friend the sewing machine......lovely.

FACES SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

this was a group project i did with Lorna-anus-scobie, Joe-led-vass and Sophie-nut-O'connor. We each drew part of the face in 8 different ways and mixed them up to make as many expressions.

it got a bit complicated after that with alphabets, fonts and some coded messages....but you can forget that and just enjoy the faces.

SHEEP

i'm making sheep again. They are for the Gower Arts exhibition in Swansea at the beginning of december (which is too CLOSE!) i will not be able to make it there myself but my little friends will be representing me.

IDEAL WOMAN

Me and the lovely esther robinson made the 'ideal woman' suit. a one-size-fits-all full body suit that allows you to look wonderful when your self confidence is low. complete with velcro-on breasts so you can vary your size with your mood.
