👞👞Broadway Melody era Gene Kelly as a pug.

A small handmade gift of appreciation for Zadie Smith who is—to her credit—very good at receiving unsolicited felt pugs from me (this being the second).

🔺🔷🔶🟡Toyworld Ballet🟡🔶🔷🔺

It’s the final day to see Toyworld 2 at Jacky Winter Gallery!

Thanks so much to everyone who has popped in. If you couldn’t make it, here’s a recital of the T2 ballet just for you—a swan song if you will—screened on The Seven Seas’ handmade CRT 📺

･ﾟ✿🫧🌼Gachapon Garlands🌼🫧 ﾟ･ﾟ

Flower arrangements constructed from recycled gacha bubbles, found fabrics and trapped toys. 

I had these bubbles laid out on my studio floor for quite some time and in-between other sewing I’d look over and see if they wanted to be anything yet. It took some time before they started to arrange themselves as flowers, then later as these particular garland-like forms. Some little toys squished in, too, for good measure. 

See them at Toyworld 2 - just two days left!

Not-Quite Wombles: Made in the Wombling Spirit

hand-stitched felt wombles For Toyworld 2, on now at Jacky Winter Gallery

‘Cute Commute (an ode to my bike)’

Felt, wire, recycled fabrics, stuffing & cardboard, thread, plastic eyes.

A meditation on how much I love my bike, moomins, Pulp and Zadie Smith. Also featuring the apple I insist on taking everywhere, only to return home uneaten and bruised from being bounced around in my bag all day.

Thank you to all the friendly faces who popped down to the opening of Toyworld 2 on Friday night! We were so chuffed to see you all; to chat and make merry in the name of toys.

Big thanks to Shena at Jacky Winter Gallery for being the best and making the lead-up, install and opening all such a pleasure.

The catalogue is here, if you'd like to purchase anything from the show or just have a little look :)

The exhibition continues until the 14th of March and the gallery is open Wednesday - Friday, 11am – 6pm, Saturdays 12pm – 5pm.
