With Cornwall Open Studios 2019 opening on Saturday 25th, I have begun the BIG SORT. The aim is to tidy the studio at least enough for people to see what I do and how. The 'piles of gorgeous stuff' for work in progress is what many people come to see.

The blossom is coming out on the wild apple tree.
The bones of the apple tree are growing above this Cornish Lane.
Apple blossom on lichened branches for my new collage of a wild apple tree growing beside a Cornish lane.
The Bluebells and Seapinks are opening on the cliffs of Cornwall. A gorgeous carpet of bloom on the ocean's edge. For more details of this collage http://amandarichardsonartist.com/content/bluebells-and-seapinks-treryn-...
'Magnolia with Chaffinches and Long-tailed Tits' is finished. All the garden is full of blossom and song-birds singing, so this seems this seems the perfect moment for such a piece. For more details http://amandarichardsonartist.com/content/magnolia-chaffinches-and-long-...
Inspired by the family of Long-tailed tits that visited my magnolia 'Merrill', here they are in collage.
One of the loveliest sights in Cornwall is the shallow sea spreading turquoise water over the shell sands of Porthcurno. In early summer the cliffs above are full of flower with foxloves and Oxeye daisies. This is the subject of my latest textile collage http://amandarichardsonartist.com/content/foxgloves-and-oxeye-daisies-po...
There is something irresistible about magenta foxgloves and shallow, turquoise sea. These are the last of my foxgloves from last year, now growing above Porthcurno.
My new collage 'Meadow with Butterflies' all of which have flown into my garden this year. I hope Spring remains kind and warm for them. More information http://amandarichardsonartist.com/content/meadow-butterflies
