Watercoloured 1

Watercoloured 2

My brother-in-law Nick publishes a small quarterly journal called Watercoloured in which he collects together photography, poetry and writing about art and political ideas. You can read the journals on the website.

I've contributed a few things in the past, but included in the most recent issue is an interview I did with a local textile artist, Annie Mackenzie, who had an exhibition at Enjoy Gallery recently.

Nick's given me a few extra copies of this issue, and I thought it would be nice to send them out into the world so I'm hosting a little giveaway over the weekend.

I've wrapped them up with some mixed card sets (a bit like these) and a small watercolour painting in each package. Just leave a comment below if you'd like to enter the giveaway for one of 3 parcels (I can send to anywhere in the world).

Happy weekend ahead, dear readers,
