Quince Jelly part 2
Amazing! I turned all my quinces into Quince Jelly, which is now on sale at the top notch greengrocer Hallam‘s on Beeston High Street. They sold half the stock last weekend!
It is also featuring on the cheeseboard in renowned vegetarian cafe Café Roya.
A bit of an adventure – well worth a bit of effort!
Customers are in for a treat – I remember when I first tasted it! A unique experience.
Choosing a palette
One of my favourite moments of creativity – the vision!
Now I simply have to find the time to create…
Pictures at an Exhibition
I am SO delighted to have two pictures in the annual University exhibition this year.
I have been visiting this exhibition for years and never dreamt I would see my work there until recently. I am eligible to apply being an ex employee.
The work is judged anonymously so I am super proud to have been chosen.
Another little jump in my confidence as an artist!
Quince tree
My Quince tree is bursting with fruit, the branches are propped up like an old cider apple tree.
I’ll be making pots of Quince Jelly with these beauties, and these will be on sale in a popular Beeston outlet – more news soon!
Creative ‘help’
My two lazy cats ‘helping’ me with my next felting project!
Christmas crafting
I love this time of year with all my sequins, felts, wool and festive paper laid out infront of me ready to start some Christmas creativity!
I will have a festooned stall at an Attenborough, Beeston, Chilwell Art Trail event at Meadow Rise Infant School on November 17th and 18th, along with other local artists and artisans.
Save the date!
Utterly bespoke paper roses order
Here’s a lovely idea from one of my customers…
Themed roses (gold and navy for a uniformed wedding), displayed in pots covered in sheet music to be played at the ceremony.
I don’t think you can get much more bespoke than that!
Painting Grove Avenue
I am obsessed with this view of my road, from the middle – often seen during walks.
The overhanging trees, the tunnel vision, the old garage in the foreground, a tram rumbling past at the end.
I have tried many times to recreate with drawing and painting.
Here’s the latest attempt, a work in progress, unfinished to date.
And another picture of this beautiful view.
