Plant dyes - all the colours achievable from leaf, flower and root within around a five mile radius. The red hot poker root was a gift from a friend on Skye but that’s only several miles across the water…

Independent retail is a precious thing. This is Ooshke in Kyle of Lochalsh, beside the Skye bridge. I’m so happy they stock my work alongside other makers of ceramics, knitwear and contemporary jewellery.

Something new to share. Project bags. For knitting, crochet, crafts and travel. This style is handy for works in progress as the frame stays locked and stable when open. Several now listed on my website.

Today I found my first seabean. This seed has travelled a long way to reach #Shetland. Starting it's journey in a tropical forest, travelling with ocean currents and washing up in our first autumn storms. A little piece of luck and joy as daylight fades and winter approaches. – at Sandwick, Scotland

Starling feather. We have a local chattering group of starlings which swirl and swoop along the shoreline, but not enough for a true murmuration. One of them dropped a feather in a recent squabble. It shimmering like a jewel in the grass. I photographed it and made this bag.
