I spent a day with Elizabeth last week before she heads over to the UK. She showed me how to make these gorgeous liquorice all sorts, they also remind me of Blackpool rock from my childhood in England.
This is how I've used some of them. This is a stitched piece that will be mounted onto a canvas.
This is another hand stitched piece made from my hand dyed fabrics and hand dyed threads.
This journal cover is also made from some of my dyed fabrics.
One of my Flora paintings
turned into this. I still haven't quite finished it yet.
A very small section of some of my sketchbooks used to demo in class.
Some of my sun printed fabrics
and hand dyed fabrics and laces that I have for sale in my little 'studio shop' during workshops.
Now back to the journals and liquorice all sorts.

The one you haven't quite finished yet is my choice. Fabulous, so far.
All that wonderful colour - just what I needed to see to brighten up a grey English day!
The sheer magnitude of what you produce is amazing. I love the designs and colours combinations you come up with and that finished piece from Fiona's class is perfect. Wonderful to see all the great stuff going on in your life including your upcoming exhibition. Congrats!
I love your allsorts, and all the sorts of wonderous creations you've made. They really are exquisite. Penny
I love those swirly, spirally all sorts and this post is full of painted and stitched happiness. It cheers one up just to look at it.
Wow! Your work is so amazing! Really, come on, slacking? Definitely not! Good luck on upcoming shows.
Your posts always make my mouth water. The paintings, journals, stitchery, all so inventive and prolific. Thank you for the years of inspiration and beauty.

Absolutely beautiful Ro!
Okay, this is making me want to do what I wanted to do when I was a girl and there was a pile of beautiful leaves. I just want to jump into these! They are so gorgeous. I just sun printed for the first time last year! You've truly made it brilliant!
always a joy to see the color and variety in your world!
