Autumn light

Early Autumn; light bathed buildings and walks though golden grasses rustling in the breeze.

A study in turquoise



A study in turquoise from vintage metal & wood to the waters of Villa d'este outside Rome.

Vintage & new finds.


Sunday 25 August, Vintage and New Finds.

I love to display mixtures of objects together.  Paintings, drawings and prints with empty vintage frames to form a backdrop to display objects of beauty and interest; found natural treasures such as shells, fossils and coral; feathers and antlers alongside vintage shop finds such as a little silver card tray.

Table Dressing - Little Jars of Flowers.
For Holiday Seasons or dinner parties I love to make small jars of flowers for the table.  The colours can depict the mood, match or even clash with the table cover colour.  Vessels can be small clear glass drinking glasses or old food cans with the label off (or on), tea-glasses or small silver vessels found at a vintage shop or collectors fair.  Here I used roses of bright colours to both compliment and clash with the table cover colours.  The roses can be placed in random collection into a posy or formed into stripes of colour.   Held in your hand the so the flowers form a dome shape the stalks can be cut to the same length and then placed into the jar with water.
