HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Hopefully 2013 will be a fantastic year for us all!

2012 has been an amazing year for me, doing some great fairs and markets, selling my work in 3 different shops and again meeting some great people along the way....

DORSET ALBUM

Hello everyone!
Has been a while since my last blog.....
Have been recovering from all the fairs I did and then recharging my batteries.
But I have been working a bit recently, honest!

Have done a series of pictures of Dorset as a gift for someone. I found a gorgeous 1930s photograph album at the Essex Vintage Weekender last month, and filled it with my own photographs of Dorset.

Each one having a different feel and atmosphere to them. As Dorset is such an amazing county, I wanted to capture the essence of these special places. I'm indebted to Stephanie Shimerdla for the superb Photoshop brushes and effects used on these pictures.

I've included a couple of them here as a preview.
The Anchor Inn in Seatown.

The magnificent Knowlton Church, where pagan rituals are still held.
