Anglesy Inspiration

I spent the jubilee weekend in Anglesy, off the coast of Wales. Here are a few photographs; some  are inspiring me to make a collage, some are of things I found and some are of me (how vain)!

Claire and her ukulele

For my friends birthday I created a collaged portrait of her playing her ukulele!
