Sparkles, Strings and Sails
It all began in 2018 with a few sparkly bottles, decorated jars and wooden boats, hence the name Sparkles, Strings and Sails.
Then in 2020 my daughter (aged 21) reminded me that before I had her I used to paint and perhaps I should have a go again. I did exactly as she suggested and since then I have got rather carried away with painting. I mainly create floral cards, prints, seed packets and notebooks. I love to have a go at painting new flowers to see how it goes. I also occasionally paint scenery and especially love to do silhouettes in ink of trees, tractors and trains against sunsets.
I still decorate bottles of different shapes and sizes, as well as turning glasses into candle stands and occasionally making a few other items, but my heart lies in my paintbrush.
