Ok remember yesterday when I shared my first ever textile picture? I thought I would show you how my work is coming along 10 years later, that makes me feel really old!

I will also share the processes behind them, looking at photos I'm often left guessing how things are made.  I've even come across one artist not willing to share how their work was made. I find that a bit silly myself as customers want to know what their buying.
