Changing Times

Just to let you know that I am closing down my website. In future all new work and pieces  for sale will be displayed here and in my Etsy shop :) In order to continue having an accessible display of earlier masks I shall be putting up a series of  archive posts. Don't worry I've not stopped creating and I hope to have some new stuff to share over the coming months!

Sleeping Beauty

My poor neglected blog, so grown up with brambles and undergrowth........ so I blew the cobwebs away, hacked my way through that spiky wall and discovered a slumbering castle within :)

 

 Creeping closer, all was so peaceful. 

 

Not a soul to be seen except a single bird high in the perfect blue sky.

A fairytale castle sleeping soundly. 

 

 

Carisbrooke Castle is one of my favourite places and between all the gales and rain we managed to pay it a little visit last week . We didn't go inside this time but to walk round and explore outside is still a treat.

Here is a little bat I made who I think would have felt very at home in the castle but he has already been snapped up and is flown off to his new home :)
