ART ON THE PROM - WHAT YOU MISSED

ART ON THE PROM 
Last Sunday - was a lovely day - sunny breezy
and 
LOTS of people 
The prom was packed with young and old
 
My stand - NO 56 
Just after Les had set me up 
The first few early birds taking a look whats on offer 

Friends came by and said hello and returning customers came back and bought a few things as well! 
Feedback being that the items they bought as gifts last year were much appreicated and so they came back for more gifts! 
 
 Estelle Westlake 
Setting up her part of the stall (we shared our pitch) with her latest ceramic pieces 
Behind you can see some of her ceramics on the fencing and some of my aprons and my toddler coin quilt in sunny yellows

 
I managed before things started to get busy to have a quick look at a few neighbouring stalls 
 
Jim Nind with his art installation - Bottles in the Sand 
Hundreds of bottles each with a message streaming down the beach towards the sea 
He also had lots of wonderful prints of his colourful work for sale 
 
Another view of them with some of the beach huts behind 
 
Tom Moye a Blacksmith with a  sampling of his work
The horse was stunning likewise the copy of the Sutton Hoo Anglo Saxon helmet
He had boot-scrapers and other works for sale

Children's Boleros





Neat boleros one in shaded greens and other in shaded blues 
So the same design but in different colours 
 
Commissioned for a a pair of toddler twins 
The flower closures are adjustable - and move to fit as they grow 
So they should get plenty of wear from them 
 
The green bolero on a small model stand 
 
The blue bolero
 
Made in Drops Delight wool blend yarn doubled
my own design

Teal Missoni Zig-Zag Coat

Front View 
Designed for a customer whom has a narrow back but large bust - lucky girl! 
To be three-quarter in length with cape-sleeves to elbow - which leaves ample room for arm movement and able to wear deep cut sleeves underneath 

Made in pure cotton in a  bright deep teal colour 

Back View
Slim fitting so it flows down the back into the waist and over the hips 

Delivered today and she is delighted :-) 
As am I :-) :-) 

I am so pleased with this design of mine - which is becoming very  popular over the years 
I must remake my stone coloured one which is now over three years old! 
With subtle adjustments in how I make it - it can fit all sizes and shapes and still be flattering
Everyone seems to love how it flows down the back and skims over the hips 

I am now making an alternative version in a bamboo tape yarn - and its looking good - so far! 
Lets hope so!
