Amanda
creates sculptures, embroideries and paintings based in life outside her back
door using a mixture of Paper Mache, wire, found objects, antique and up-cycled
fabrics.
Her
sculptures of garden birds are life size and accentuate colour and the intricacies
of feathers using torn silks and lace, they often have little wire speech
bubbles with quotes and phrases, quirky sayings or machine embroidered text in
the body of the fabric and sometimes ticker tape with a little 'ode' about each
bird. Unique and colourful, they make a wonderful gift.
Amanda runs workshops
for schools, colleges and art societies, and private groups if you want to have
a go yourself, what great fun!
