Chaffinch




I’ve been working on these chirpy Chaffinches for a while now. I started making them thinking they would be cards, but I find they suit framed pictures better. They’re done in a combination of paper cut out and graphic quilling style, with the graphic quilling mainly outlining the cut paper. The papers used are a mixture of my own marbled paper, various scraps I have lying round and papers Miss Millicent Crow was kind enough to send me.


I have a whole stack of the chirpy birds already cut out and waiting for quilling, so I’ll probably have another flock of them flying around soon.

Market Time




After a great Eastbourne Market in Days Bay a last month, I’m very excited to tell you all that I’m off to the market again this weekend. 

This Saturday I’ll be at Paekākāriki’s wonderful market for the first time. It runs from 10-2 in St Peter's Village Hall. I hope to see you there.
