Hi! Totally forgot I’m on Radio 4 right now talking about 18th century romantic dating with Cariad Lloyd and Dr Sally Holloway #YoureDeadToMe

Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

I paint quite a few signs for museums, often Victorian or Edwardian repo’s. This one is straight out of the 1960’s - I love the turquoise/white combo.

history friends, Walsall Leather Museum is at risk. Being the granddaughter of a Walsall leather worker, this breaks my heart. Intangible cultural heritage is hard to define, therefore very easy to destroy. We can’t see another heritage site disappear. Please sign; www.change.org/p/halt-the-p...

Hoping 2025 is more positive for the tv industry, with fewer cancellations and more opportunities to showcase Heritage Crafts. Let’s collectively cross our fingers.

That’s the sign writing on NB Idle Hour done. Green on green was a bold choice by the customer, but I kinda like it.

It’s colour swatch time, using @ashandover enamels. I wouldn’t normally go for green on green, but the customer wants the original artists colour palette. #signpainters #signwriting #signpainting #signs #lettering #canalboat #canalart #handpainted #handdrawn #endangeredcrafts #heritagecraft

Did I post this already? If not, here’s something a bit different. Water cans usually feature roses and castle scenes. The one I’ve painted for NB Victory has a Hawker Hurricane and a Spitfire. It’s GORGEOUS #canalart #spitfire #hurricane #handpainted

Adding the first of several coats of varnish onto this water can for NB Victory. Each coat takes a wee bit longer to dry at this time of year 🥶 #canalart #rosesandcastles #varnish #enamelpaint #signs #signwriting #handlettering #endangeredcraft #handpainted #notonamazon #heritagecraftsassociation

I’ve hand painted nearly 300 chuffin glass baubles. I’m now 99% Grinch, and can only be saved with mulled wine.
