Workshop preparation
This is my justification for having a very messy studio.
I am attending a workshop tomorrow so I have been preparing pieces in advance, which really means that I grab bits from the boxes I have sitting around and then try to make something interesting out of the contents.
The workshop was billed as "Resin Jewellery" but I had a word with the tutor and asked if I could do mixed media pieces as well as experiment with resin paper, and thankfully she agreed.
As well as these pieces, I have prepared a small case full of interesting paper experiments - I will need 48 hours in the workshop instead of 5 hours.
The samples shown include embroidery, lace, buttons, pins, paper, enamelling powders and knitting.
The long sample at the side is an image transfer on to calico, using the acrylic medium process. This is a piece of text written by Jane Austen for her draft of her novel "Persuasion" and I hope to embed this in resin to preserve it.
Time will tell if any of these samples are sucessful. Fingers crossed.
