Today I visited the Arts and Vintage fair at 15 Queen Street Colchester. It was so good, I met up with .... Drum roll please... The lovely Alexandra Fanny Davis who organised the fair, great job Alex, together with some good coffee and the most amazing mince pies... A lovely time was had.

There were lots of amazing young and up and coming artists.. I couldn't resist buying these two prints.. Click on their names for more of their querky work...

Spotlight : Emerging 'Mosaic' artist

 This week I had the great honour of going to Cherry Hall's studio and what a wonderful experience it was, it was packed to the gills with exciting projects and ideas, I wish that I had taken a photo of it, you wouldn't believe how wonderful it was...... Her latest pieces are well... Amazing.

 

Her work is in great demand a young chap came to collect this one while were having our coffee, I was lucky to get a photograph of it. The young gentleman also put in a Christmas order... Obviously a collector.

Just click on the pictures for a closer look, it is so clever the way she has applied the pieces.

This is another piece that she has been working on.. Don't you just love her quirky ideas.

I love her 'nips', so intuitive.... Recycling at it's very best.

 Also sold.

You must get busy again Cherry.  I can't wait to see what you do next..
