Land Ahoy!




I've been rather quiet blog-wise of late as I've been up to my gills in picture framing for Open Studios in Cambridge. But the end is in sight and I've today had the luxury of sitting in the cool, watching Wimbledon and making boats out of bits of paper!

In case you wondered, I'm feeling a little nautical these days as we're off to the seaside this weekend! It's going to be my first caravanning holiday and I'm really rather excited. In my head it's all gingham covered seat pads, brightly coloured thermos flasks and tasteful-but-floral-60's-pattern awnings. In reality I suspect it will be white plastic garden furniture, screaming kids and Spam.

Either way, I've come up with a new set of collages with a boat-y theme. The first of which is now listed.  

PS - An interesting and sickeningly cute fact about me and boats, I used to call them "boaps" as a child. I nearly called the collages my "Boap" series but thought nobody would find them on Etsy...
