Messing around in my studio at the end of Monday afternoon, I made a drawing of a lady I’d spotted at the supermarket earlier, then cut away her dress, just for fun. And look at what happened next… OMG, she’s wearing the same outfit as I am! Chilly minimalism, anyone? At the supermarket, there’s plenty …

During May this year, on one of my Making Fridays (one I didn’t post about here, but on Instagram instead), I had fun with my knife and some patternmakers’ card, cutting out lots of cute animal cards.

Coincidences & Pots
For a while I’ve been drawing lots and lots of pots. I’ve been pinning them to my Vessels board on Pinterest, I bought a lot of bowls and tea bowls from our friend Steve Shapiro a while back, and I really enjoyed my visit to the Potters’ Market earlier this year. It seems I’ve got …

Eye Chart
I’ve been wearing spectacless since I was 8 years old, and must be onto my 10th or 12th pair of frames by now. One day, I rummaged through my drawers and found all the old frames I could lay my hands on, and turned them into a cut paper artwork, which was auctioned off at …

Succulents
It’s hard to imagine anyone with less green fingers than mine. Despite my best intentions, I watch my beloved plants (even the hardiest ones) wither and die. It’s tragic. But with decals around, who needs green fingers? I’ve made a set of four wall decals that allow even the worst gardener to maintain a cheery row …

Subtraction
This is one of those things you do, just because you want to do it. The results are not spectacular, but the process is enjoyable: I cut the two images on the outer edges of this bunch from matt black vinyl, and stuck them onto card. Often the negative shapes that are left behind from …
