Looking forward to being back here on Sat 27th 😀 #crystalpalace #se19

So for big person’s birthday the challenge was to see if I could paint a 7” vinyl picture of one of his favourite records. And this is the result. Now I know why people paint these big - it’s all the tiny tiny writing on the label 😄 #vinylrecordart #chilites #acrylicpainting

Nothing gets wasted here. This #resin necklace uses fabric I got to upcycle our dining chairs. It will be coming to Bloom! - my exhibition with Maria Rado Art Studio at #jeannieaventgallery in #EastDulwich from Friday 12th. Msg for invite to opening night #catnecklace #upcycledjewellery

Big person and I went to ‘Entangled Pasts’ Royal Academy
A joy to see the work of some of my favourite contemporary artists - El Anatsui, Frank Bowling, Yinka Shonibare, Kehinde Wiley..And beautiful moving works from Hew Locke,Lubaina Himid and Mohini Chandra ❤️

Work in progress. Sigh 😼

Our porch before and after - the magnolia and maroon we inherited when we moved in wasn’t really cutting it 💙💚💙

Interpretive dance. Perhaps inspired by the psychedelia of the decor.
She went back to normal cat mode after this performance, tired but happy 😻

Happy that this artwork was featured on the #Croydon Art Society Insta. The society offers a lot to members, so think about joining if you are a local artist. Second pic shows us watching its fab talk on the women artists who made modernism.

Big person, small person and I went to the lovely little exhibition about the history of the #Croydon music scene at Museum of Croydon ♥️
Good to see our own Whitehorse Lane and Clifton Road studios, Ariwa and RMS, getting a mention 😍

What a difference 18 months make. The tiny scrap that the universe deposited in our garden - then and now 😻

Very happy to have sold a print of this embellished fluid artwork at @riddlesdownartshowcase on Sunday. There’s something lovely about the medium’s affinity with galaxies and outer space (and now I have that Prodigy track in my head 😄) 🚀

Upcycling work in progress, with one of my 3 studio assistants😻
Though I won’t be finishing this chest of drawers today due to being at @riddlesdownartshowcase 😀 it would be lovely to see you there☀️

This is one of the prints I’ll be bringing to this Sunday’s #riddlesdown artshowcase 🌿☀️🌿
Do you recognise this bucolic scene? Clue - it’s somewhere in #WestNorwood , with a little artistic licence.

The perfect gift for anyone with a blue and black cat 😸
I may bring a few of my artful necklaces along with my wall art to next Sunday’s @riddlesdownartshowcase - details in second picture 💙

Who says you can’t choreograph cats 😻
The trolley they are sitting on was a street find which I painted and decorated and it is now a handy multi-storey cat storage solution 😸

When I Decorate Rooms 💙
This is our den which doesn’t get much natural light and I thought the magnolia walls we inherited didn’t quite cut it 😄 So I’ve embraced the dark, finished off with supersonic metallic blue on the radiator 😎

Elizabeth Knapp - WhenIDecorateThings started with #upcycling furniture. We inherited a tired table and chairs when we moved into our house last year. I painted the table last year and just did the chairs to match. Ish. Furniture modelled by various cats. #upcycledfurniture #croydon #thorntonheath
