A very quick pen sketch today of the Banff registered trawler, I love the ones with a bit of rust :)

This is exciting for me, love the linear quality of this dried seaweed...

Experimenting with kelp at the moment, hoping to do some weaving but noticed that moisture in the air softens the kelp, love the translucence 

An example of how I work - I draw my chosen subject then recreate it exactly using wire ... this is a big one to finish!

Sorry for the quality of photo, have no idea why it's so fuzzy! This was a commission at Christmas of a house in Newtonmore using a variety of thicknesses of wire.

Have been making a number of bird sculptures on driftwood recently, this one is now sold but I'm happy to make something similar in any bird that you want, although I imagine a crane or heron might be a little top heavy, but then I do like a challenge!

There is still dispute over the location of this house as I have used a photo on this occasion to draw the picture of the house and the owner insists it's on the Causewaymire, u am still to find said house!! I combined an outdoor sketch of the wall in the foreground from near bridge of Westfield. There is a mixture if wire, pastel, crayon, acrylic and linseed oil. I love this rusty orange roof and the Caithness Flagstone walls.  Still to be attached and framed.

This is one of Scotland's most popular bothy in Lairig Ghru and I've just had the image made into coasters that can be bought at The Black Rock Gallery

A one-off piece made from a drawing used for a fine wire piece, sold the other day!

I've been experimenting with coloured wire, can you notice them? And do you think it works?

Just to let you know that the gallery will be closed on 18th July and will re-open on 29th July. Sorry for any inconvenience and I look forward to seeing you soon.
