BodyMind Creative Studio My journey started as an upcycle artist, creating things from discarded materials and selling some, or submitting some to exhibits.

It continues with my schooling in Arts Therapy. Watch this space to see how it evolves.

This is one I will chalk up to gaining experience and learning. Lost a wing and both feet on the ride home (because I couldn’t keep him on the shelf at the clubs until I rented a kiln later when I have enough to fill it). Feet were too thin anyway, and he was too big. Might try reclaiming all the clay. Will be another great learning, as I have never recycled dried green ware before.

I started taking Aquipta again where the purple tassle is. Doesn’t look like it is doing anything for me 🙄 except of course giving me issues with side effects. Time to stop and try something different?

Making the letter and number stamp this way and just bisque firing them did not work. I also realised that there is no way I will be able to make 13 of these by June, even if this first trial works😂 I will be using almost a full 10 kg of clay to make one. We are only allowed to purchase 2 bags of recycled clay a month! Although I could probably get some others to buy some and sell it on to me😉 we will see. I may have a different idea on how to present this installation anyway. Watch this space😊

I have been offered the first week of June at Thistle Hall to hold my first solo exhibition to raise awareness about chronic pain and art. It will also be a fundraiser for the Migraine Foundation New Zealand Aotearoa. This is the start of one more ceramic installation I hope to have ready for this exhibition. Wish me luck and watch this space😊

Realised I haven’t posted in a while. Working on applying skills learned in a workshop to two legged creatures. Here is an attempt that started as a life size little blue. It ended up being too big, so now is becoming a Hoiho penguin.

I have decided to add a border to my granny square quilt that shows different shades of migraine days. I only used black, different shades of grey, light blue and white for the different intensity of pain for the granny squares. In the border I decided I would use black for the worst days where I function only due to pharmaceuticals, a dark grey for days where I am still impaired but can function, light blue for better days and different colours of the rainbow for days with no migraine pain. One row of single crochet a day. You can see what January 2026 has been like so far.

Burger and fries buddies. A bargain bin kit purchase from Spotlight to keep me busy while in Auckland. Turned out quite cute.
