It's the big reveal of my piece for the Battle Folk & Fable Festival this weekend!

Their theme for the year is Giants so I'd like to introduce you all to Yernagate, a giant supposed by some to be the guardian of the New Forest. Incensed at people stealing so much wood from the forest, he finally snapped and flung the next woodcutter he saw so far he landed on the moon. Yernagate also became famous for taking a nap so long that the land around him turned into a mound now appropriately known as Yernagate's Nap. All that throwing does take it out of you.

If you want to learn more about our Giants, or just have a great folk-y weekend, please do come and see us in Battle this weekend!

I'm super excited to tell you all that I'll be the resident artist at this year's Folk and Fable Festival in Battle! Here's a sneaky corner of the piece I've been working on - I'll be adding a bit more of the cutting and printing process over the next week, and dropping a few clues as to who it is exactly I've been drawing...

The festival will be held in Battle on Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th August with a great lineup of events, so follow Battle Folk & Fable Festival for more info! I've already got a big list of talks I want to cram in!

I always forget to post on Facebook, but I'll be at The Crafters Collective CIC craft and fun day next Saturday! I'll have some prints and bits and bobs, and I'm also being let loose with temporary tattoos!
