the blue house
housepaint on paper
I did this in college and my fave teacher liked it......then so did I !

um well this is a pheaseant embroidery obviously (love it and its blue like the painting above)

this is a detail from my show which is on at the moment in the boyle arts festival.
The trunk was my husbands aunts , in which all her belongings were carried when she travelled to america in the 1940.s
f.r.a.g.i.l.e
oh I am a silly , just realized that I have to check and allow comments now since I had to do that moderation thing due to lots of long lost chinese friends , if only they wrote to me in english.
There I was feeling a little sad , my dear parents just left for their flight home after a lovely event filled visit .
My mother staking up my delicate poppies to a twig , tying them all on by hand with green sewing thread.....sigh .
I am showing off some older work that has remained unseen till now and I will put it all on flickr .
I hope you are all well out there in my outerworld inside x

I have updated my hand drawing page and you can go to it directly here :D
