most distressed toy washing machine...

Newark...

missed purchases... i so would have bought the shelving unit made out of a boat if i didn't have a tiny car...and why didn't i even think about buying this gorgeous ironing board at the time? oh could have been my tiny car again!

oh yes oh no...

i have been invited to exhibit in an exhibition (funnily enough), in Germany, i need to produce 3 new pieces of work in ten days! mmm there may be trouble ahead, but if it comes with the obligatory music and moonlight and love and romance...then i shall dance...
all idea's welcome;
(it's Applied Art...therefore the 'application of design and aesthetics to objects of function and everyday use'!)
that'd be jewellery then.

i need a PA/PR person...

free of charge preferably...well, essentially.

paper lace

line dry research...

bone china beginnings...

pre- decal...watch me ruin it

new work

for your delectation...

'a social commentary' or 'and we thought it was posh!'

Pontins, Southport - the 70's...

'a grand day out' OR 'aunty jenny's finest moment'

i am wearing a very stylish striped bather and am very proud of my shoe...oh and my haircut is amazingly beautiful...



Warkworth, Northumberland, a very long time ago, i can't even believe i was alive then...
tip: watch Mark!

more skirt...

due to popular demand, well... one demand (at my suggestion).








can be worn with anything...(actually probably not).
this is my pocket prototype...coming soon at linedry.co.uk
well when i say 'soon'...

skirt

pattern cutting is a science ... full of mathematical equations and hard thinking; it is very rare to be a scientific AND a creative person, I would hope i am at least the latter...

this is my simple skirt pattern, it got another button and i moved the badge... one of my collage designs on yet another application...surface design heaven...

my bone china cup will be the next victim.

happy days...

how to spend a ridiculous amount of money on ribbons in one day...

my pieces back from belgium...with lots of images of the gallery, opening night etc. but no matter how hard i peered into those pictures i couldn't find my things...but there again the whopping great catalogue/book with my commentary in 3 languages certainly makes up for it!

secrets of people

to be beautiful...

sean

your words made me inspired today, even though you won't know it...being somehere in Italy shaking newly grown olives from the trees...eating freshly baked ciabatta for brunch and being kissed by the sunrise...

i have started some new compositions from scraps, offcuts and watery paint (o yes - watercolour); without a theme, concept or purpose (bliss) ...

they need more work but they feel almost beautiful anyhow...

a busy sunday...

but no rest for the wicked!
p.s. these fish are amazing.

almost there!

i think i will actually stop now... i can't make all things for all people unfortunately and i must wash my hair... here is the (not quite) final version of my dreaded egg cosies, we will see what the masses think tomorrow and then decide if they are to be a 'product' so let me know what you think of the prototype... and don't worry i shall consider all criticism constructive!

really busy making...

...stock for the designersmarketplace next sunday. no making to order here - all available to buy and take home immediately! creations i will have for sale include;

• acrylic or porcelain & wood jewellery - contemporary yet still with a vintage or handcrafted feel
• new textile accessories for fashion & the home- not yet seen by the public! this is the pre launch of my new label 'line dry'
  
• the few remaining limited edition bags featured in 'living north' magazine and recently shown at The Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art
