a public affair

is what I am attempting. It took me a while to get to this point!

Considering that I am an opinionated and self-confident woman, my dithering and procrastinating to get a blog and a shop going has been quite pathetic.

No longer – I am coming out!

What I love most is putting words and pictures together. I often can see funny connections or twist and image or wording to bring out some humour. Whilst I am not great at drawing or sculpting I think I have a good eye and combining things is my forte.

I am never happy to follow a recipe to the letter. I will always adjust weights and ingredients. I am a seriously bad follower of instructions and will only read them when forced by extreme circumstances. I loath repetitive tasks and am always looking for new ways of doing things.

My library of art and crafts books, magazine and artist blogs is large – I tend to only look at pictures and sometimes skim over the how to. I can identify when others write from the heart about their personal journeys of struggle and growth in trying to express themselves.

So my aim with the blog is to share my ideas and attempt to be as generous with my ideas, words and images as the many people that have inspired me to get to this point.
