I am so happy to tell you that I have been fortunate enough to have an article published in the USA's Somerset Life....all about my Keepsake Boxes.
Somerset Life Magazine is absolutely gorgeous! I knew it would be but seeing it in the flesh has been a true thrill. We have nothing like it in the UK. Full of inspirational art and ideas.The Somerset Life team took the photographs of my Keepsake Boxes. They worked real magic with their creative sensitivity.
Thank you to the Somerset Life team. It has been a real priviledge.
All I can say is WOW!!!! It is a jaw droppingly fabulous Exhibition. I can't begin to tell you how many original incredibly intricate papercuts are on display, all sizes.
I can't imagine how hard everyone must have worked behind the scenes and Mr. Ryan too, to put this collection together. A thoroughly enjoyable and inspirational Exhibition.
Ceramics inspired by Staffordshire's pottery industry.
The original illustrations for Carol Ann Duffy's book 'The Gift'.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing these few snaps I took last Monday. The Exhibition runs through to 9th January.
Thanks so much for stopping by. x

Congratulations on the article! Those paper cuts are amazing... make my efforts look rather feeble! (I can't stop singing "Lola" as I type and I've only just realised why!)
Congratulations! Have just been to see what a subscription to that lovely magazine would cost and sadly it is out of my league! Where can we see more about your boxes the photos don't show them in too much detail. Those paper cuttings are amazing! What patience.
