From Oxford to St.Ives to Uzbekistan

I haven't captured the 3D effect of this felt hanging we saw at Best of the Best at Waterperry Art in Action, it was quite spectacular.

 Here's Jane Ryan's fantastic wooden quirky automated toys.  It was lovely to see Jane again, she is such a warm friendly person.  We are going to visit her workshop when we go to St. Ives in September.
This is a link to her site http://www.opiworks.co.uk/

The weaving of the Uzbekistan people in the international tent is stunning

Have a look at the
 great work they do in educating people in different crafts

This lovely pottery is the work of Katherine Winfrey of 
The Old Butcher's Shop at Barnack Stamford

Jenny Wheatley's artwork
reminds me of the collages of Italian balconies and windows I did some years ago.

I could go on for ever about ART IN ACTION at Waterperry in Oxford


But I think you may just have to pay a visit yourself next year.


I hope you have enjoyed the tiny selection of the fabulous things you can see there.

We've just landed....

The Doodly Birds have just landed back in Whitworth from their sojourn to Witney, Oxford where we had a lovely week with my sister that went much to quickly.

Those of you who want to know what was in the box before Cobey the cat claimed it, well look at this.

 

 A late Christmas present from my sis.  I've wanted one for ages and  this one is like new.  

Lucky me also received these early birthday presents.

 They are made by enamalist FIONA CAMERON

Link for more of Fiona's work

This little mosaic is of some more lovely pieces my sister Jill has in her home.
The orchid has been in flower for 10 months.

Another treat we had was to visit the Watermill Theatre at Bagnor, Newbury
http://www.watermill.org.uk/
If you live anywhere near there I strongly recommend you go.  It is set in the most idyllic surroundings, has a wonderful restaurant & bar and is very friendly.
 We saw a truly funny farce of BEN HUR.


Tomorrow I am going to make a few mosaic pictures of the things and people we saw at Art In Action at Waterperry, Oxford.  Including this little fella.

Nice to be back, sort of !

We are off then .......

Today we are going to stay with my sister in Witney, Oxford for a few days.  I haven't seen her since Christmas so I am quite excited.  We've got lots planned starting off with ART IN ACTION at Waterperry.  This is a massive art festival with every type of art and craft you can think off.  Empty purse stuff, oh and we have to wear wellies.

"Mum help me"

I will just show you the tag I made for this weeks theme of "SEA BIRDS" at the TAG TUESDAY CHALLENGE.  Click on the link and see what other people did as well.

Last week's theme was "SWIMMING"

 FINALLY

I can't go off without saying a big thank you to my blogland friend Mo in Scotland.

 Without going into detail something horrible happened this week to my Mum and Mo knew how upset she has been and sent this beautiful flower arrangement for her. 

 THANK YOU MO.

And thank you to all my blogland friends you are all a great caring, sharing gang. Happy birthday to Logan too.

See you next week if I don't manage to link up somewhere along the way.
