Blue
Jolene’s been busy laying about with her feet up, well, in fairness she’s been resting her ankle following an operation to remove the steel work that was put in when she broke it a few years ago. She hasn’t been entirely idle though, she was commissioned at the Morningside Makers Market to customise a pair [...]
Over the weekend I was fortunate enough to come across a lengthy piece of blue (what we think is fake) suede in the fabric shop. It was screaming out to me to make some birds…so I did. It was kind of difficult to sew with. I kept feeling as though the needle hole would tear, [...]

Well, the demonic papier mache sculpture is here … finally! Gravalsh, a small and relatively friendly little demon intent on world domination, or failing that bringing about an apocalypse.
