Mermaid inspiration

Here's is the Poole pottery dish by Robert Jefferson, as promised. My hubby is a great collector of ceramics so he has to take the credit for this find! Often I despair when a parcel arrives from ebay, but he did well with this one! I just love the simplicity and linear of this fab design. The mermaid face and hair inspired me for a Pisces, so that was my starting point. I have to work on some textiles today so will get back to this project tomorrow.

caricatures

Ive been doing a few caricatures lately. I like to make my subjects beautiful though ...rather than accentuate bad points!! Here's one I did for a friends birthday. You can also see a wedding one which my friend almost a bride kindly posted on her blog today! You never know someone out there may want to commission me to do one...............if not then obviously all my friends will be getting them for birthday cards!!
