My passions are my three children and my art. I make/ create in every spare moment of every day. I am a mum always. I also work freelance as a model maker for animation companies here in Bristol. I graduated in painting from Glasgow school of Art some years ago, but the twisty turns of life left little time for painting (I will have paint brushes in hand soon though)
But instead of snarling at that pram in the hallway I took up sewing and knitting once more (taught to me as a child by my mum) and I’ve been making fabric/ sculpted doll? characters ever since. Life is exhausting but rich, I love what I do and hope you enjoy visiting my blog to see what I’m making from week to week.
I have an Etsy shop and will be launching a new shop soon at Big Cartel, you can also see hundreds of images on my Flickr account under Quinn 68.

Just discovered your work through etsy and I love it!
Looking forward to having a browse through your blog
