As most of you know, Becky Adams is the talent behind my new front cover.
And because the world is really very small, Becky is going to be quite local to me with a major exhibition from March 27 until April 25 at Ruthin Craft Centre (in North Wales).
I’m very excited about meeting her and I’m very much looking forward to the exhibition. Becky creates from a mix of collected or (even) discarded things. She stitches things back together again, but differently. Her work tells stories, is full of narrative and she seeks to find beauty in the lost and everything about Becky’s creations offers respect.
I think she is a bit magic.
Becky will be giving workshops on Monday 29 March and Tuesday 30 March. I can’t find the details on Ruthin Craft Centre’s website, but you can call them for more details on 01824 704774.
And… ‘TALLULAH!’ a ‘zine by Laura Jane Williams has come to my attention.
Issue One provides twenty-four small pages of clever words and sarcasm and hand-drawn hearts and flowers and scribbles and misanthropy.
You can read such delights as, “Sometimes Everything Is Just Shit”: A Totally Fictional Story and An Open Letter to Stephanie Meyer, or: Why You Let Me and a Million Other Girls Down.
It’s funny, it fact it is exactly-my-kind-of-humour funny.
‘Tallulah!’ is limited edition ( and Laura’s mum thinks it’s a bit dirty). It costs two British Pounds or Three American Dollars and all the details can be found here.

Twitter: @Mrs_B33Oooh, I wish I was closer, would have loved to have caught Becky’s exhibition. She sounds like a wonderful magpie-artist, a little like the lovely Nikki Pinder. Wish I could make magic like that.
Twitter: @meganjstaylorAnd Tallulah definitely needs investigating too …
Thank you!
