Post by: Ghost Of The Doll on Monday 18 April 2011, 01:43 pm

You may have noticed that I also run two other websites, one for my own family tree and genealogical services (Tracing Ghosts) and one for my arty stuff called Powder Monki.

www.powdermonki.co.uk

I've a wide interest in all things arty and at the moment I'm having a go at beaded felt jewellery. I spend most of my spare time on web design than anything else, but like to dip in and out of my other various interests for a change.

I made this necklace for my mums birthday:

Handmade

I also make little purses and greeting cards to sell on stalls, and they are also available to by online from my Powder Monki website (just email me, there's no shop yet).

Photography

My other love is photography, especially close-ups of plants.

I used toys a lot whilst studying fine art at university, in drawings, 3d-work and photographs. I've not added in photos of any of my drawings or 3d-work work yet.

Web Design & Graphic Design

I have several website which I've designed and maintain and am also thinking about getting into wedding invites after designing one for a friends wedding in May.

Sheesh, you have many talents.  The necklace is very pretty and I love your photography and everything else.  I wish I was good at all that stuff.

I studied for a mixed media Fine Art degree at Derby University, but my love of textiles comes from my mum who's a fantastic textiles artist.
