best book ever

BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER BOUGHT - INSPIRATION CENTRAL

July update

I have finally regained spare time for CRAFT. So relaxing. Made cards and produced framed prints, but I've also started printing which I will soon share. These are DIY cake-stands inspired by Prima magazine. I liked one so much I decided not to sell it in the end. Anyway recommend this old chestnut. Bargain and recycles odd plates!!







This was my stall from saturday's Saltaire fair. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and everybody's very pretty things - this Saturday - TODMORDEN!

DIY cards - intro production

I started making cards for birthdays and christmas to give to family and friends but I enjoy it that much I'm going into business. Etsy shop on its way - these I have crafted in preparation for my summer stalls coming up - orders happily met through email until then - claregarbutt@yahoo.com.





polaroid replacement

















Polaroid out of production - sad face. But who needs polariod when theres Fuji Instax - cheaper and tinier - making it even MORE fun. Summer smiles .

Oh Eggleston




















Postcard perfect

Manchester Museum sketchbook



Had a lovely few days at the Rocks and Minerals gallery at Manchester Museum. Not where you'd think you'd find a lot of artistic inspiration but I lovvveeedd it. Amazing surfaces, textures and colours all over. Natural forms really are all you need sometimes.

Theses are a few samples of my sketchbook works.
