Talk of the Town – Anne Mychalkiw

Anne Mychalkiw creates beautiful stitched and printed textiles with a range of tea towels, wall hangings and applique canvasses,  plus Anne makes lovely mixed media pictures and a lovely range of mugs and little plates. Lots of Anne’s work talks of every day scenes in a North Staffordshire town, with market day scenes in Newcastle under lyme, views of the Guildhall, people mooching about the town and walking their dogs.

Anne is a graduate of Staffordshire University and in also based in  North Staffordshire. She was brought up on a farm in Mid-Wales, so a recurring theme through her work is the countryside and birds are a favourite.

Her paper designs have textural elements and often include stitched areas and printed surfaces.

Recently, Anne has introduced her own ceramic designs on Fine Bone China made in Stoke-on-Trent.  Her latest ceramic range is based on the seasons.

The Gang

The Gang

Welcome to the gang; Aaron, Margo, Betsy, Millicent, Trixie and her dog The Reverend and other characters who used to live at Birdy and the Wolf.

Birdy has decided that she has had enough of all this rain, and as bold as anything she announced this morning, “Bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! It’s too chilly, I’m off!”

So as quick as you like, Wolf came over to check out DappledSky and asked if they could move in.

They all packed their little suitcases and plenty of teabags and some dog biscuits for The Reverend.

At the DappledSky commune there is loads of space for all the gang. Space to grow their own veggies and room for everyone to have their own place. In the evenings they can light some candles and sit outside, watch badgers take a midnight stroll and see the paper owls racing above the old train tracks at night time.

They have all enjoyed living at BirdyandtheWolf but have decided that they won’t be renewing the lease on the place and they really want a change of scenery, with a place that they can all call home.

Please redirect your Birdy and the Wolf post to Dappled Sky. They will open shop again soon here under the new name “DappledSky”…

I’m sure they will have plenty of tales to tell.
