Since around Feb/March I've had lots of commissions and presents to make for friends and relatives. Here are some pics of them to prove that I've not been skiving but have in fact been working away.
Okay, so I was on holiday last week up north (with gorgeous weather!) but am now ready to get back to my studio, and after I finish my current present-project (for beautiful baby Mairi) I'll get stuck into making work for the McNaughtan's bookshop exhibition in November.
Possible subjects include dance, spirituality, ancestry, and I'm still not finished with my vet school drawings! So that lot should keep me out of mischief for a while anyway.

| Detail of baby book. I like the idea that something as mundane as a bus ticket or shopping receipt will be interesting in 20/30/40 years time. Or is it only me who would like to see how much a loaf of bread cost on the day they were born?! |
