Where Have I Been????

Its such a long time since I have been on here, sorry folks.
I have a good excuse . . . I have been busy, honest! Commissions and work for exhibitions have kept me tied to my desk and my scalpel, so I have no complaints, just wish another pair of hands was available!
I have just started a piece for a lovely lady in Scotland, a tree hung with allsorts of things that have personal meaning to her. Have 6 pieces done for the "Great North Art Show" at Ripon Cathedral which starts in September, Jenny Agutter of Railway Children fame will be speaking on the opening night, oooh! And another 6 pieces are under way for the "Art for Youth, North" show at Baldersby in October. 

On top of the overdose of papercutting activity I have been thinking about corn dollies. Corn dollies? I was taught to make these as a very young person, many many years ago, and just recently I thought I'd like to see if I could still do them. But, just to be a bit different could they be made from something else? I tried wire . . . This is my first attempt, not brilliant but will keep playing about to try and get it right and will keep you posted.

Here are a few of the more recent papercuts that have been keeping me busy . . . 
I will try to be a good girl and add to this more often but that scalpel is keeping me busy at the mo.
