A super shiny mug featuring my design of a beautiful female Reed Bunting with Fairy Flint's signature and motto, 'Art Enchanted by Nature'.
I think my motto perfectly sums up the way I work. I spend a lot of time in my studio, and much of the rest out walking where I observe nature, birds, insects, flora and fauna. I find nature so good for the soul and so helpful to keep mental health.
I was delighted to have spotted this shy female Reed Bunting on my walk over heathland. Hiding amongst the leaves she watched me for some time, neither of us moved for quite a while. Her male counterpart has a more distinctive look. I find her gentle markings over her eye rather beautiful.
I find that takes a different style painting for ceramics and textiles. It's enjoyable to finally see my work on something other than paper :)
