My very first post!

I've just launched this blog as an experiment. It will be a bit more free form than my website www.madeleineshepherd.co.uk - though I'm not sure what direction it will take. Expect ruminations on photography and textile art and tapirs! The domain name above is the source of the blog's name.

cyanotypes - Athens - work in progress Originally uploaded by MadeleineS . Next week is a pretty crazy one for me - as well as the judging an amateur photo competition and sharing a stall at the new and eagerly awaited Earthy Craft Market, my collection of new cyanotypes goes into a gallery.

I'll have the full range of my work on show in the studio and if there's space I'll demonstrate the hacked knitting machine. Almost all of the artists at Coburg House will open theirs doors to the public. There'll be an exhibition and the shop on the ground floor as well as a couple of pop-up cafes.  Set aside a good few hours to see all four floors of studios. Hidden Gems is jewellery exhibition in the Coburg House Gallery for the remaining...
