I saw your sheep Barbara, and had to look closer at it, and what a surprise to see it's fabrics and lace! Well done! It reminds me of the lambs I have made - stuffed and a coat of crocheted yarn made in one long line, and then wrapped around and stitched in place.... You have inspired me in collage!

What an absolute glamour girl she is. Just beautiful.

Hello Joy, thank you very much for your lovely comment. Your lambs sound intriguing and a lot of work too. I am delighted to have inspired you with collage!

Hello Sandra and thank you. I'm delighted you like this new sheep. It will be on display at my first solo exhibition in September in Buckinghamshire.

Wow, it' beautiful and very original Barbara!!!

Beautiful work again Barbara....when & where is your exhibition?

Beautiful work Barbara love the lamb!

Very clever and looks wonderful

Hello Annalisa, Sylvia, Carole and David. Thank you very much all for such fantastic feedback. My solo exhibition is at The Stables, Claydon Courtyard, Claydon Estate, Buckinghamshire MK18 2EX September 16th-24th 11-5 , closed 21st and 22nd. That'd be fantastic if you could visit!

I really like this Barbara, I always admire your work, it's so clever! Good luck with your exhibition.

Thank you so much, Margaret for your support and good wishes for the exhibition too. I really appreciate that!

I knew who had created this piece of work as soon as I saw it Barbara - wonderful.

Ha ha, thank you, Adele! You really made me smile!

I want this painting, but probably can't afford it! Its just so very pretty with the flowers and lace hiding in it... Love the sheep's curls too.

Good morning Lyn, I am delighted you have enjoyed seeing my textile artwork. I love using bits of lace and original fleece as it seems to bring the sheep pictures alive. Limited edition prints will soon be available so I wonder if this is something you might consider if not the original? If you would like to know more about the artwork please contact me [email protected]. Thank you again for your lovely comment.

You may be a bit too far away from me Barbara but I wish you every success...am sure it will go well :)

Brilliant, Barbara. That's one very wooly sheep.
