'Rain: the wettest drought on record'
Nearly finished!! Had a lovely commission for a wedding present to complete in between times. Won't post that one until after the wedding.
Festival Lighting
The experimental process....
The deep fat fryer, tried wax but then moved to oil for melting and binding the plastics.
Washing off the excess oil. My clothes and workshop smell like a chip shop....still.
The first of many crude washing lines.
A finished small garland.

Jubilee Special
An old sconce I was given by some kind neighbours and part of my found key collection nearly all of which were 'Made in Britain' - these with the crown like frame is my small nod to the Jubilee celebrations.

'Near Exhausted Magnolia'
Made entirely from Landrover scrap, the design of this light was inspired by the blooms of Magnolia all over the country this Spring. One blossom just a bud, the other on its way out. Will post some photographs of it lit up in darkness...

Thank you South Shropshire Furniture Scheme
I haven't said enough in the way of thanks to South Shropshire Furniture Scheme who have encouraged and supported me so greatly with this endeavour. Help with grant applications, opportunities to speak about what I'm doing as well as hooking me up with a Radio Shropshire gig.
Please have a look at their site and the truly brilliant work they do. I hope to work very closely with them for a long time and will be delivering upcycling workshops with them in the not too distant future.

Happy New Year
I've just found a location for my first big photoshoot; a big, colourful and beautiful old house and will hopefully have this underway in the next few weeks. Once I've got the lovely photographs then the website will be well on its way. I am more than excited. Here's to 2012 being an excellent year.
