I am re-visiting stumpwork and I have unearthed some old pictures from a time when I used to teach this subject.

I have put aside my womens' suffrage studies to ready myself for the General Election which should be in the early part of this year.

I have always made a piece for the Election, and this year I thought that I would revisit stumpwork and in particular the padded faces I used to embroider. These would be interesting made into political jewellery.

Watch this space!

Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.

Here's where the painting was when I stopped working on it last night. Hoping to finish it today...that is if Aiden will let me ;)

It's a 6"x6" linen canvas. I'm really liking the feel of the linen as opposed to the cotton...plus it's less prep since I just put one layer of gesso on these as opposed to several on the cotton canvases to get a smoother base.

It was whilst I was waiting for paint to dry on another project that I spied an abandoned canvas in my workroom.

I coated it with tissue paper, acrylic paint and gesso, and then added various paint effects on top.

After sanding it with a sanding block I added tea stains, buttons and dyed lace.

This canvas will hold my collection of "glitzy" necklaces and is destined for my bedroom.

It is a work in progress as I have lots more memorabilia to add.
