No gopher duties for me this #DerbyshireOpenArts. Feels quite odd. Good luck to all exhibitors providing this great free cultural event especially @saraheaparkin.bsky.social and the rest of the #Holymoorside village hall crowd not forgetting the cake and lunch ladies! 🎨🍰🥪🍵🧑‍🎨

It's nearly time for #DerbyshireOpenArts weekend! Over 240 artists are taking part across the county, and I'm one of 11 artists exhibiting in New Mills, High Peak.

Stitched artwork depicting a summer woodland with light and shade. A very breen pallette with tall thin tree trunks in brown/grey. Close mounted in a brown double mount. Viewed on an angke to show texture.

The same artwork, framed in bare wood frame, against a stine wall. Viewed from the othe angle and further away

Same as image 2 but face on

The framed artwork held in the artist's hand for scale. Frame is roughly 8x8 inch

I'm really rather happy with this one 💚 Summer Emeralds in Ruby Wood. I was never good at painting in greens so pleased that stitching works much better!
I'm not totally convinced about the mount colour, but I had this one in and I want to exhibit it next […]

Close up of a mixed media artwork (gel print with stitch embellishment) depicting Rose Bay Willow Herb with its fluffy seeds. The slightly abstract background is blues and khaki colours.

The same artwork (Rose Bay Willow Herb number 2) framed in white and resting against a stone wall

Another mixed media artwork depicting Rose Bay Willow Herb and its fluffy seed. This is the first one I made and the background is green and red (as the leaves of this plant are in autumn)

Rose Bay Willow Herb number 1 framed in white and resting against a stone wall

I have completed a second #RoseBayWillowHerb mixed media artwork to add to my first. Very different but complimentary I feel. I will be exhibiting both at #DerbyshireOpenArts in Carsington at the end of the month […]
