Some people think pretty; some people think ugly. I think pretty ugly. I started to develop the idea of pretty ugly through my blog posts and instagram over a decade ago. It was a mixture of the inane and the insane. Rough with smooth; old with new; brutal with delicate; serious with ridiculous. By chance I discovered cyanotype - a technique dating back to the early Victorian era that was a very early form of photography. This gave me free rein to explore my love of textiles and printing which was my actual creative training as a student at art school in London. Hence was born Pretty Ugly Blue - a hub for me to explore and share my love of craft and sewing and anything else that inspires or moves me. I hope you find things here that you will want to own and cherish; things that will inspire and amuse you; things that will touch your soul. Please follow me on my Instagram feed and reach out if you would like to share ideas, collaborate or are considering a commission.
