Was home sick from work all day, and still feeling lousy. The upside is I built some more buildings and additional stuff for the layout.
This isn't a "final scene", I just got bored and wanted to test an idea.
Still working on it, but I think this should about do it. Allows for nearly full range of articulation, and for the armor layout I like without inhibiting joints.
Changed the knee, elbow, and ankle confirgurations. Also redid the forearm armoring and skirt armor mounts slightly. PROGRESS!
The amount of chiffon burnt away can be controlled to some extent. The density of stitching and the number of layers of chiffon have an effect, as does the length of time the heat gun stays in one place.
You can change the appearance of the background by layering different colours of chiffon over one another, or you can leave a large portion intact, as in this case where I left parts of the blue chiffon over the yellow crochet, which leaves me with an overall impression of green.
If the stitch is dense, and a contrasting colour to the background, this can give an interesting illusion of colour too.
I burn sections at a time, and I do it by an open door because of the fumes.
The whole piece will smell of smoke for quite a while.
Work in progress.
I had my sewing machine out this morning so I doodled some Christmas designs on to a piece of old blanket using brown paper, wrapping paper, newspaper and stitch.
Burnt using a soldering iron.
These are work in progress as I will be adding trims before putting them on cards
2005 HG Saviour Gundam from Gundam SEED Destiny
One of my favorite suit from the series, although it didn't do much action and only get destroyed by Freedom. But since I'm an Athrun Zala fan, any gundam suit piloted by him is my favorite. lol
This is one of the old HG kits I used to have back in 2007. I was just a beginner so painting, removing nub-marks and all were horrible. Now that I'm a "pro" (I wish I really am), I decided to buy a new one and do a better job.
This is also one of the kits I wish gets a revive version.
Lots going on in the studio on this wet and windy day.
I'm experimenting with some further techniques using tea bags. These are drying on some sketch book paper and they are leaving some interesting marks.
Work in progress for some ATC cards. Do you remember all the rules about table manners? Yeah me neither. I'll post the finished products later.
still working on it... although it may not look like it's changed much, I totally screwed up her face this morning, and spent hours getting her to look half way okay again.

Work in progress.
"What shall I wear today - who am I?"
This final section shows a woman as a voter ( at last).
I have made it out of pleated shot silk and ribbons with added computer designed text. It is covered by a plastic dome which has the effect of ageing the sentiment.
Mixed media - less than 1 inch high
I'm running a workshop tomorrow and this is the mess I've got into whilst preparing the session.
You should see the laundry and the kitchen too- I've been spreading myself about somewhat.

I'm so glad I remembered this pattern from the wacky Australian quilting magazine I bought almost a year ago because it's perfect for Rouenneries.
