Is Carly scary? Well now. That is a question. Clearly not the question. Also, this can hardly be The Question. That is more about the meaning of life and much more existential enquiries. But certainly, being scary, is something to consider. Carly has thought about whether this is a true statement of fact, or …

Dreamcatchers in Brighton July 2024
I love to make these dreamcatchers and photograph them before I give them away. This time I used buttons from Sarabeth, a rubber of a unicorn in pink that I sliced up, various pens, and paintbrushes using ink and puff paint as well as a box of wooden bugs and flowers that I painted purple. …

I love this museum. It is such fun and so inspiring. They have this special section to help accommodate those with disabilities. Having fun with the toys! There were a load of rubber families of 6 colours. Firstly they went and stood up in the wooden village. I have this wonderful if rather tatty orange …

7 cloned barbies waltz around Jaffa
I bought these 7 barbies as they were wearing purple clothes for my sabbatical exhibition in September 2021. One day they were hiding behind my TV in my flat in Jaffa and my neighbours commented on them and I thought they would make a nice album of how they went around Jaffa to see and …
Dreamcatchers in the Peloponnese May/June 2024
I spent 7 days in my usual writing and yoga retreat in Limnisa, Methane, Greece and 3 days riding 50cc scooters around Aegina when I made 43 dreamcatchers on card. I have used buttons Margery gave me from when she was a diplomat’s wife in South East Asia and had to have clothes made to …

Purple Mermaid Barbie goes to Limnisa
So it started with my neighbours. Now, it has become a full blown Barbie obsession. Here Mermaid Barbie goes to Limnisa (Limnisa for writers) where I go twice a year for a writing retreat. Purple Mermaid Barbie really does have a fun time!
