Stage three.
I've coated part of the canvas with gesso, mixed with some tea.
Thankfully the sun is still out, although there are ominous clouds.
I love the way that the shadows of the flower stems stand out against the background.
Nothing is quite like the start of a major piece.
I have laid down the base for a new suffrage work, and as I try to use the textile techniques which would have been familiar to the women of that era, I have decided to incorporate knitting and finger crochet.
The base of the work is a 2 foot square canvas which I have covered with a patchwork of hand dyed blanket pieces in shades of blue/green/yellow.
On top of this I am creating a random surface of finger crochet and knitting in both wool and fabric.
This shows the section where I have used wool.
It is a work in progress and as I am in free fall with this one, who knows where it is going!
For TR, because he inspired it...I just don't have the inspiration or drive to finish it.
The idea was to create a submarine with the ability to deploy an aquatic-capable mobile suit. It more or less can do this, and has the rough shape I want, but I kind of lost interest and want to build something else. Maybe I will return to it one day...
To finish him up - sew the red buttons on the hat to make a flower, sew the hat onto the head, sew the head onto the body.

I'm learning what I can do with my new camera, and it seems that photographing fire is rather tricky. I'll be working on this.
This is the walled gardens at Holkham Hall. We got a ride on an open top bus around the grounds here. Was very windy and breezy.
The walled gardens cover six and a half acres and are divided into eight sections or rooms.
The gardens are currently being restored as part of the Walled Gardens Restoration Project, so it is mostly empty in here.
The original gardens date back to the late 1700s, and in 2010 they started to restore them to it's former glory.
2011 is the second year of the project.
Inside the garden.
Back into The Grove.
Finally found some flowers to take.
Photos at Holkham Hall are not for commerical use. You can take photos here for personnal use only.
I'm committed to a selling exhibition next week - I thing I avoid if at all possible.
So it's down to batch production methods.
Here is the start of some of my whimsies which I make out of air dry clay and fabric.
These are tiny creatures - the largest is two inches in length.
Once I got the basic design of the button down (let's call it a sort of square top hat) I spent a bunch of time iterating - making slightly different versions, jamming them in my pocket, and trying to get them to fault.
While I was doing this lilia was ninja chopping the code. We still need to develop how we process the signals. Signal processing, ah. What does a button press look like? How long should it send a signal for? How long should it wait before sending another one?
I'm coming to the end of a major suffrage piece and in an attempt to reduce the amount of rejects which always builds up after a project is finished, I've decided to place my samples in dedicated books.
This is the first book, which I made out of purchased flower embedded paper.
