Come along to the Mavericks Art Group event on 2nd and 3rd December. My artwork will be in there too.
Hosted by Amy Mason, at her beautiful studio, Bluebird Arts, it is an opportunity to see and buy work by many talented artists and crafters, in a lovely relaxed atmosphere.

WE did have fun dressed up in mediaeval garb for the opening night of NEOS at Hallgreen Castle. You can always spot the artists in the Great Hall when you come up to view our work – we will be here until Sunday 17th!

Thanks for all the fun Dundee Fun A Day!
(It all started off on Hogmanay when somebody handed me a strange object and asked – “What can you do with this? Take it away and have a go!” So my Funaday project was finding out what I could do with a six foot shed skin from a boa constrictor!)
If you want to see what I did come along to the FunADay Exhibition this weekend.
It’s in WASP studios, Meadowmill, West Henderson Wynd, Dundee. The opening night is on Friday 10 February from 7 – 9pm. The Exhibition runs from 10.00am – 7.00pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Here are some photographs I took of the fun I had during the month.

Well, I’m a crochet tutor! So the first thing I saw when I looked at this shed snakeskin was a beautiful lacy crochet pattern. Don’t know quite how it would turn out or what I might use it for. Maybe give this a try out sometime and see if it can be made into a working pattern. Probably would need a more delicate name than Boa’s Belly Stitch though!

Last night somebody handed me an strange object (as they do on Hogmanay) and said “What could you make from this? Take it away and see what you can do with it.”
So my Fun A day project is going to be – working out what I can do with the shed skin from a six foot boa constrictor.
First take photographs of it in all it’s complex beauty. Here are four of them.
