Another two commissions just collected today, another on the go and a quite a few to get started; it's been a very busy summer! I've met some amazing and wonderful people in the studio and have had such fun creating my tissue paper collage original artworks especially for them. I have to admit it is a lovely but sometimes quite a strange feeling to see my original creations leave, but it is fun to get to know where in the world they are moving on to. ...And of course, it's exciting to see where the next one will take me. I'm very passionate and devoted to this technique, I enjoy experimenting and just seeing how far I can manipulate, test and control the tissue. I love the challenge of working on commissions; understanding what it actually is that someone likes in something, what kind of mood and feel they want creating. ..And colour, don't get me started on colour; Colour has an unbelievable power to cheer a person’s mood, to raise a smile, to excite, to tease, to relax and to calm ...I feel very lucky.
