I’ve been playing around with some new ideas and have carved these birds, painted them and then embellished them with enamelled wings and eyes. I love the reflection of the birds in the marble surface I’ve photographed them on (my new kitchen worktop and splashback!).

I’ll be showing them for the first time (with a few more friends) at Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair, 10-13 October at Spinningfields, Manchester. I’ll be on Stand 128 and hope to see some friendly faces.
