Life (and blogging) has been interrupted somewhat by our kitchen-dining room (where we spend most our time) being out of use for two weeks, at one point with no floor! Despite it all, here’s been a lot of making going on – have a peek… Isabella’s butterfly slowly emerging… …and Toby’s Toucan! Some little mosaic […] Read more...
British Mosaic Forum in London
The annual day out for British Mosaic Art last weekend, held at the exquisite V&A in London proved to be a veritable feast for the mosaic artists soul. I am sure the British Association for Modern Mosaics (BAMM) who organises the annual gathering will add detailed info on each talk to their website. I’ve been […] Read more...
My newest piece of mosaic art…
“If music be the food of love…” Our first kiss. Our first dance. The slow, swaying embrace to gentle music as I whispered in your ear that I am carrying our baby. Precious moments, set in my heart forever by the music that entwined us. This piece is a beauty as it changes so much […] Read more...
A mosaic feast for you! Virtual exhibition part one.
Ah…what a wonderful evening we had last Friday at the Private View of the Mosaic Memories exhibition.

Before showering you with pictures I have […] Read more...

Nice way to know each other in the cyber-world don’t you think? Here’s Zeynap’s questions to me… What’s your big dream? To build a zero-carbon […] Read more...
My mosaics in new Stampington mag!
This weekend has seen me doing the Wandsworth Artists Open House whilst the capital basked in this most bizarre but lovely 30 degree heat. Lots of people came, ‘oohed’ and ‘ahhed’ at the gleaming glass art of Sally Dunnet combined with the shimmering mosaics of yours truly. It has been lovely meeting so many […] Read more...
Origin contemporary craft…or is it art?!
Please excuse the silence on this blog. I do aim to post at least once a week, but sometimes life takes its own twists and turns, which it did last week with the sadness of a family bereavement. On Saturday, I appreciated the opportunity for some space to just think and be, as I went […] Read more...

Exploring the making process…silversmiths & mosaic artists speak
We often explore why we make. But what about how we make? I’m not talking about technique but about the process. How does that something, that did not previously exist, start its life in you? How does it evolve, develop, become solid and tangible? Have you ever looked at your making process in detail? And […] Read more...
