A stitch in time

Here's me fiddling about with a prototype of the Exmoor National Dress.
Can't find anywhere to integrate the fantastic horse-motif Western shirt hanging on the wall, sadly.

Karen on Exmoor

This week I'm on gorgeous Exmoor in Somerset, developing my project for the Triparksresidency, a great project hosting artists in 3 of England's National Parks. Following a productive 2 days of meetings in the implausibly named Pixies Holt outward bound centre on Dartmoor (a first for me to stay in one of these places, and goodness me what a crime against interior design it was...) I have broken away to pursue my many leads here in Exmoor.
You can read about my attempts to invent an Exmoor National Dress here.
