pointy hat chaps in progress......
for some time I have been 'hearing' about a possible pointy hat chaps takeover - you know they like to take my attention... not just a reprisal but they want their own space this time. I don't know, such demanding chaps. And they are getting ever more particular - we want to be all natural they say, dye the fabric with plant dyes, you know how. Dye the wool and spin the wool and knit the wool. So yeah, not exactly a two-step process guys. But even so, they have persuaded me....
You may not know that years ago now, I began my professional design/craft/art career as a maker of textile dolls and creatures. I have made them every so often, over the last few years. The pointy hat chaps allow me to exercise my design skills in a different way - and I enjoy making them and I know people have enjoyed collecting.....
So, I am working on new chaps. And possibly other creatures. They will have their own space - they will be an off-shoot, a happy branching out.....
And meanwhile I will continue on with my ever-evolving mixed media artwork. Thanks for looking at all the new work in my shop. Never a dull moment x

Looking at those happy hats brings a huge smile, making me happy.....
I like the idea of making them all natural.. I have half a sheep in waiting in my garage for a project like that ;)
I LOVE your "chaps" and "gals". I still enjoy my collection of six, all lined up in a row. I would love to add to the little family. I am always/still so inspired by your work, after all these years! xoxo
