Welcome to my website!

 

Hello, I’m Judi.

I make things because I love the unexpected — a curious face, a tiny story, a little moment that makes someone stop and smile.

My papier-mâché characters have gradually found their way out of my studio and into the garden, where they now line the driveway and each has a story of their own.

They appear, disappear and change places, inviting passers-by to pause for a moment and wonder: Who is sitting there today?

For me, this is what art is about — not necessarily something grand or important, but something that brings a little magic into an ordinary day.

Stop. Look. Smile.

And perhaps, if you look closely, you’ll discover a little more magic along the way.

Many of you will know me from Jumble House in Castel Rigone or from my YouTube channel.  

My studio location may have changed but I haven’t!   My aims are the same.  To make people happy. To make them smiles.  Also to 'have a go' themselves.  

I truly believe that there is creativity within everyone  and it's never too late to discover the joy of creating.  

 

 The Beauty of Serendipity in Artistic Creation

The concept of serendipity revolves around the idea of chance—stumbling upon good things without actively seeking them. Notions of chance, randomness, or unpredictability play a vital role, especially in the context of artistic creation.

This approach highlights the importance of embracing the organic process of making art without a rigid plan or a definitive outcome in mind. It invites artists to welcome chance encounters, experiment with unexpected materials, or adopt unplanned techniques that can lead to surprising and unique results.

Cut up those doodles and unfinished art work and combine to make colourful collages. 

I have a real affection for these two papier-mâché sculptures. Like much of my work, they reflect the emotions I was experiencing at the time of their creation. The fox on the right was made during a moment of intense anger—hence the boxing gloves. In contrast, the piece on the left came later, when I felt calmer and the situation had settled. Together, they capture two sides of the same story: conflict and resolution.
