Janet's Teapot.

Funny how things happen - I was looking through a book Patsy brought in yesterday by Lynda Monk, a mixed-media textile artist. Have a look at Lynda's blog (under the name of Purple Missus).

 I thought that the fly in Lynda's book looked just like this fly (below).
 It was on the lid of Janet's shoe box that she'd brought in.            
 I wondered if Lynda Monk had traced her design from a box the same as this as they were so alike.

Janet was wearing the boots she'd bought in FLY.

There's a fly embossed in the leather.

Look what's in the shoe box now!

A quirky teapot.

There's a nice paper lining in the box and the tissue paper is printed all over with flys'. 

 I can see a compass, Big Ben, a  London bus, The Shard, The London Eye, The Houses of Parliament and Tower Bridge.

There's inspiration for design everywhere - you just have to open your eyes and look around you. 

This is the third fantastic teapot Janet has made and now she's thinking about making another one to add to her collection!
