pebble circles rug

A rug Mum made based on one of my new sewn pieces, "Pebble circles, I."  I really like how the lines have been translated and how bold the composition looks on a larger scale.

Although the rug is no longer in stock at the gallery it is available to order through the gallery website.

The rug on display alongside my "found on the shore" exhibition.

Rug is approx. 150cm square.

summer moonlight rug

 size: 91 x 186cm

Inspired by my evening walks around Hoxa last summer. The subtle shading in the moon and gentle colour gradation in the background are really effective - this might be my favourite rug so far.

In progress, viewed from the back.

rug designs

For the last month I've mostly been working on rug designs. Drawing wildflowers has been a welcome change from my landscape based work.

I finished a buttercup and a wildgrasses design yesterday so both should be ready to start at the weekend.

Finished "roadside" rug.
