Oh I do like to be beside the sea side!




At Half Term Evie and myself went up to Great Yarmouth for a complete girly chill out with my dear friend Kate and her daughter Imogen.  It was fabulous to visit Cromer pier and be transported to the seaside holidays of my own childhood.



We had really good weather, even though the forecast was terrible.
And I always think fish 'n' chips taste much better when you eat them outside
in newspaper! Mmm my mouth is watering even as I write (just hold that picture!!)



The pier was fantastic.  I remember walking along as a child and going dizzy because you could see the
water underneath.  But why do those telescope things NEVER work!


I loved this photo with all the seagulls lined up.  Sorry it's a little blurred -
I think I was a little too excited!

Anyway on other things, the Artistree Exhibition is now in its second week at Weavers Gallery in Ledbury.
There's some lovely work there so, if you get a chance do go along and see it.
Plus, The Small Gallery in Hereford is showing Up Front's new work on Altered Books from now until
Christmas. You can find the Small Gallery at No. 1 Capuchin Yard,

Church Street, Hereford, HR1 2LR.

Altered Book Exhibition













Most of you will know that I am a member of the Textile and Mixed Media Group Up-Front. We are currently working on new work that will be exhibited at The Beetroot Tree, Derby from 25th July - 6th September. But another exhibition we will be doing is an exhibition of Altered Books for The Small Gallery, Hereford around Christmas time. I don't know if you are familiar with the Altered Book genre. Each member of the Group has chosen a second hand book and a theme. The books travel from one member to the next for each to contribute their own interpretation of the theme. At the end we will all have a book full of the Group's gorgeous artwork.
Anyway I have just finished this month's book (pictured above) which belongs to Gilly Mound, the theme of which is "Where the Heart is" and I thought I would share it with you.
Hope you like it.
