Since Sarahs return from visiting her family we've both been very busy making (too busy in fact, to actually take many pictures....). We attended a small crafty type open day and a much busier wood fayre in Wellington but, both forgot to take any pics!

Anyway, at the moment we are both busy crafting and slowly getting ready for Devon Open Studios - as we previously mentioned; we're showing our work with friends at the Steel Yard Arts Centre in Crediton (4th-16th September).

You'll find us in the DOS catalogue - Isabel Merrick, Paul Mccullough, Sarah Harvey & Benjamin Boyland (available from many Devon librarys, council offices, schools & arty related places along with 130 other artists who'll be opening their studios to the public). We'll post more details and maybe even directions on here over the next month (you can also view the listing on Devon Artist Network website).

For now here is just a few things I've been making (I'm sure Sarah will post some of hers as soon as she has taken photos)

Oak mirror;

Sycamore & Walnut mirror;

Honey Drizzlers (Spurtels), great for using up small offcuts!

Earring Holder mushrooms, Sycamore;

Hawthorn;

Apple;

Sycamore Egg cups;

& lots of miniature vases, ideal for buds, pens, pencils, paintbrushes etc;
