Phew. I finally start to settle back into some sort of routine after the summer session where I felt a little like a ping pong ball in play – batted to and fro from A to B. In some ways great to camp a bit, festival a bit, explore a bit. However I increasingly started to feel the need to settle – a lot, and how better to ground myself than with the study of bluebells (harebells if you’re English) for a Roman Blind.
Sketching flowers from various angles for applique
Included with the blind was a complimentary lampshade made from the sample piece used to try out different techniques prior to making.
Tangle of stems and a flower head.
and the blind itself was much appreciated by a delightful client.

Next project…Sloe berry blinds x 2 and a set of curtains. So far so good.

Comment by Anita Page September 4, 2011 @ 10:51 amWe had to get rid of thistles on a field after the war-yes I am that old-which the Min of Ag didn’t like, have no idea what a Grazon 90 is, we did the not very large area with Swinging Cutters, love the name, which were very sharp and like hockey sticks, who ever went in that area had to carry one and cut down the weeds as they went.
Much enjoy reading about Lismore, one of the few islands I’v not been to on the west coast,perhaps next year. So enjoy hearing all about it and of course your lovely work, keep it up please, I can buy your things just down the hill in Solo, Sheffield, lovely shop.
All the very best
Anita
