Sallyann long One things for sure, I break all artistic rules. My work is very individual. Colour is, literally, e I cant remember the first time I painted.

I am a mixed media & textile artist who is passionate about colour,texture,line,and light. About Me

My love of art started at a very young age, my mother showed me that colour was the start of all great work. It has been a part of our family life, the equivalent to Sunday lunches, or sand in your sandwiches. Inspiration, motivation, and artistic flare, was always in great supply in my childhood

home. As a result I used a variety of materials and was encouraged to experiment through the use of different techniques. Nothing was considered wrong. I have to admit that I thought all children visited museums, art galleries and everyone loved colour as much as I did. I am still surprised this is not the case. To fast forward a few decades, I now have three children, a husband, and a very new grandchild and all have been raised with the same love and appreciation for art. My Experience

I attended Bath Spar University to study Fine Art and Textiles in which I achieved a BA degree with Honours. Since graduating some years ago, I have been employed as a freelance artist. I have also spent time inspiring the younger generation as an Artist in Residence at a primary school, and have run work shops in mainstream secondary schools. As a media & textile artist I love to experiment with different materials. I like to manipulate studies using a variety of paints, inks, dyes, fabric, and pure pigments to build up a visual tactile work. Through various applications I build layer upon layer—sometimes adding, sometimes taking away. Layering colour to creates the sense of realism through the abstract. Colour is, literally, essential to me.

I think I would be great friends with this lady. Happy reading.

Recently, in a large city in France, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym.It read: “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?”?

A middle-aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman pictured on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym. She had a whale of a lot to say:

“To Whom It May Concern, ?

Whales are always surrounded by friends: dolphins, sea lions, and curious humans. They have an active s*x life, get pregnant, and have adorable baby whales. They enjoy stuffing themselves with shrimp, playing and swimming in the sea, and visiting wonderful places like Patagonia, the Bering Sea, and the coral reefs of Polynesia.

Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. ?They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans.They are loved, protected, and admired by almost everyone in the world.?

Mermaids don’t exist.If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of psychoanalysts due to their identity crisis. Fish or human would prove quite a quandary for even the most skilled of therapists.

They don’t have a s*x life because they kill men who get close to them, not to mention how could they have s*x? Just look at them … where is IT?Therefore, they don’t have kids either. Not to mention,who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store? ?

P.S. We are in an age when the media attempts to convince us that only skinny people are beautiful. I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver, and good chocolate with my friends. With time, we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren’t heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy.?

My husband bought me a new sewing machine for Christmas. This is my first attempt at free stitching. I have made a baby comforter, just to make it into something. Its great fun, and I hope to get better as I am intending to make Isabella-Rose (my grand daughter) summer dresses with free stitching on them.

My latest bag design.  For a great friend, to remind her of home in Florence Italy.

I have just made a teething cot rail for my grand daughter.

These covers are perfect when baby starts to stand in the cot and chew on the rail.
It protects the enamel on their teeth, stops them ingesting the materials that the cot is made of and protects your cot.

The length is approx 100 cm and has ribbon tie.

if you would like more info, please contact me via facebook or email me on [email protected]
