Day 17 of Mrs H’s Social Media Detox - final call for Zak the Collie Dog Christmas orders!

It's been busy at #zakthecolliedog HQ, #Jessedog has been shirking responsibilities and passing the delivery baton to #RescueRu!

Please note if you're wanting Mr H to screen-print Zak the Collie Dog or Zak & Co clothing to receive in time for Christmas, orders need to be placed on the Cherrydidi Online Shop this week

I'm very chuffed as had another session in my pottery summer house on Friday and threw my best pot yet - so much so I think I'm going to attempt to trim and take along to one of my fellow potters to fire - I joined the newly formed Arran Potters a few months back, a group of talented potters where I can feel inspired, ask questions and generally feel in awe of these 'fellow' potters. I have a long way to go but I really do enjoy this creative outlet. My aim is to be able to list my work on the Cherrydidi Online Shop - my collection will be collie inspired of course, hard not to be when Jesse, Jack & Ru keep an eye from the couch whilst I'm throwing  - watch this space!

In other news, we have the lovely Heather Macleod joining the Cherrydidi Online Shop, of course we have fallen in love with her painting on silk collection as it features her beautiful collie, Star.

Heather, a Scottish Contemporary Artist has worked from her studio in Whiting Bay for over 20 years. Strongly influenced by the beauty of the local landscape and seasonal changes, her paintings reflect the light and colour of Arran. Her paintings are instantly recognizable from the intensity of the colours achieved by layers of dye with mixed media on a silk canvas.  Over lockdown, she re-kindled her passion for oil and acrylic paintings incorporating textures with wax, sand, and sometimes fabric or netting.  Most are locally themed, reflecting island life and Arran scenery.​
