Souzou: Outsider Art from Japan


This wonderful exhibition at the Wellcome Collection is on until the 30th June, and is free.
It's a large exhibition, with an incredible variety of work, and at the end are some really interesting films of the artists at work.

Utsushi – The Search for Katsuhira’s Tiger






Fox and Lamb

Pattern parts in a lovely Murray Marks box


  Being rather short on time, and urgently needing a small fox for a birthday girl, I decided to make this from a pattern by Gingermelon on Etsy, rather than make my own. The very clear instructions made it a pleasure, and it was interesting to use different methods or solutions to your own. Especially when you realise how convoluted and over complicated your own can be!
I didn't have any fox coloured felt so he's Arctic.
