I am Sam, I live in North Cornwall, UK.  My artwork involves textiles and handmade beads, I get my inspiration from my local surroundings, the Cornish rugged coastline and the ocean, so a lot of my work is in blues and greens. 

 My sea inspired hand made beads prove to be very popular.  This is a fairly new blog , as I wanted a blog which was dedicated to my textile work !  I am constantly working on new projects and trying out new techniques. 

I am offering two gifts for my lucky winner !

The first item is one of my hand made textile brooches in teal blue.

 The second gift is a pack of my textile art beads, in sea inspired blues, the pack contains 6 beads.

These prizes will be randomly awarded to blog readers who leave me a warm, fuzzy comment.  Just comment below and provide a way for me to contact you and I will pick a randomly drawn name from those who leave a comment.  One entry per person, please.

Have fun on your journey and I hope you'll come back to visit soon!

Help me title this art piece !!!!!!

Hello all, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, especially those with snow !

Living in North Cornwall, we still have not had a single flake.  My son is constantly watching the weather and looking out the window.  He's hoping to get some, he thinks if he believes hard enough it will happen.  I will let you know if we do.

Anyway, I need some help in naming my new textile piece.

Add your comments for any suggestions.
