sunday sketchbooks


 On Sunday I packed up all my sketchbooks, patterns, fabrics, samples and buttons and headed off to Waterperry Art gallery, where I spent the day chatting to lots of lovely people about my work and what inspires me to create my handmade accessories. One kind lady offered to send me some of her vintage handmade lace which I am very excited about.

 I have a collection of my bags and purses on show as part of Artweeks along with five other artists until the end of May.

    Your sketchbooks look like pieces of art too. Just like hour bags!
