"The woven tapestry commission for my friend's sisters wedding is now almost halfway complete!I hope to have images of this on my blog in early 2014.Very happy too, that,starting in 2014, I will be creating original handwoven panels for one of the bag designs for my friends, Lou and Ross of Leo Designs,based in Perth.More details of that,once I have started creating for them.This will further my weaving skills..and keep me happily creating!I also hope to create a SheduDesign online shop selling small gift items that I create...and hope to be running more children's art workshops similar to the ones in Aberdour which I so enjoyed giving."

I am very happy to travel within a reasonable radius of Perth to give more of these kind of w/shops if anyone is interested.My contact details are on the art w/shop page..I am happy to be contacted by email also for this.I have plenty creative ideas for giving more w/shops!"

Photographs page

"Photography was my support subject at Art College. I see it as a medium in its own right,and a route to a way of "seeing" that can enhance our lives. Some of my photos inspire my paintings/sketches or weavings.I remain excited by this medium and its potential."I now have a photography page on my blog...hope you enjoy!

"New Tapestry Weave Commission."

"I have started sketches for a new tapestry weave commission for a friend's sisters wedding next year. Commissions always develop something new and challenging in my work.The weaving of this piece will soon start.Once the sketches are discussed and approved..I will happily be weaving!"

New Mexico painting

"The woven tapestries I create are usually inspired by my paintings or photos,then I will start on sketches for any weavings...occasionally weaving ideas will just start with a sketch or idea. I looked at different aspects of healing as source material for my Art College Degree..hence the New Mexico visit,never realising that years on, I would become a Reiki Healing practioner! I feel strongly that all my creativity connects,and can inspire each other. Music can inspire the art,and vice versa..healing connects with it all too,as Reiki can open out any creativity."
