This is a miniature sash for my exhibition piece "What shall I wear today - who am I?"
I machine embroidered this one inch piece and then added the words using a pigma micron pen. The fringe was coloured gold using ink as the gold machine thread looked too chunky when worked.
Only one ( or two) accessories to work now and then the piece is complete - a week before schedule.
It's odd what can happen to plans - I should have gone away for a week but the heavy snow has put paid to that idea. Still a happy day in the studio soon dispersed my gloom and as I have stocked up with supplies I can now have a quiet and productive time at home.
A very small silk paper seascape with velvet and machine embroidery. About two by two and a half inches.
I used silk to make this book, and patched it together in various ways to show that Jane lived in a society which was very structured and restrictive.
Throughout the piece I have used three elements to illustrate her life: her family: her home and her writing. There are also folded triangles inserted into the seams which bring in the naval theme of her last book. These represent the sea.
The pages turn and can be tied back to show different frames for the central two background pictures.

I spent some time this birthday morning working on a self portrait.

The start is a series addressing gender identity and the clothes we wear. Made from re-used men's shirts (mine), old net curtains an linen.
This is the start of a homework piece for the Adhesion meeting next week.
At our Christmas meeting we were given an unfinished piece of work via a Secret Santa and we were asked to bring the completed piece to the next meeting.
This is a close up of the piece I received
I've decided to cut mine into small squares and add some others which have been cut out of a sample of polyester and nylon.
The project idea for this was to take our designs and see how well we could incorporate them into a full fashion jacket, and somehow (not surprisingly) that turned into a full-on heavy stitched steampunk project!

I was given a sheet of magazine scraps which had been applied to a background in a haphazard manner and was asked to use this as a source of inspiration!
I find this sort of challenge VERY difficult as I usually work to an idea, not an image.
After a mild panic I decided to gesso the whole page in an attempt to tone down the images and then I used it to create a folder which I then die cut and embossed.
I then grabbed the scrap bag and started to machine embroider images which started to leap from the page.
This is one sample.
This is a part of a piece I did about Ada Lovelace, the inventor of the first computer language.
This picture is the third in a series about women who achieved greatness despite the times in which they lived.
The circle represents the mathematical symbol for 0, or infinity, and is made up of stitched and burnt chiffon, with applied pieces of machine made lace, burnt with a soldering iron.
The background is nuno felt, attached to acrylic painted canvas
However...........
My current piece is both.
Machine embroidery, die cut flowerstems, hand embroidery and paint
The base of this piece is a rectangular stretched canvas with applied paper and paint.
I added on top a very fancy "Sunday handkerchief" - the type that traditionally was only used for decoration when going to Church.
I added die cut fabric stems and then applied some fabric flowers which had been previously embroidered on a slip background.
On top of that I then added my machine embroidered foliage strip ( see previous post).
I will now be hand embroidering on top of these layers
