The Musk Orchid can reproduce vegetatively and so it is common to find them in pairs, clumps and groups.

This is an example of how I use Paint Shop Pro as a design tool.
Image number one is an original mono print using acrylic paint on to calico.
Image two is the first manipulation, which involved layering on top of photographs and manipulating the image using the effects tool.
The background is a refinement of these two images using further photographs and textile backgrounds and the displacement map tool.
This simple process will give me a great many ideas to work on which will hopefully lead to a full textile piece.
I have gradually come to use this work process over time and find it most usefull, although I have to start with a sketch and develop the idea in stitch.
I found this old canvas when I was looking for something else in my attic.
It was part of the Ada Lovelace series, but in the end I rejected it as too bland.
So, I have now decided to recyle it and as you can see I have pulled some of the motifs off the canvas and I have painted over the rest.
The first layer was black gesso, then dark red acrylic and a bronze acrylic layer on top.
It now awaits another layer of black acrylic.
I just love painting over stitching and fabric and seeing something new emerge.
Le centre commercial
42° Sketchcrawl, Lyon-Confluence. Dix dessins réalisés entre 9h30 et 17h. Le premier dans le métro (la durée de toute la ligne!). Le deuxième au lieu de R-V : l'Intermezzo, café italien. Puis la passerelle depuis le sud, l'intérieur du centre commercial à midi. Puis le café à 13h, la passerelle et les cadenas, puis le cube orange, la boutique Joja. Puis terrasse vue sur les balcons décalés. Pour finir, à Perrache l'intérieur des archives municipales. Environ 18 courageux croqueurs présents!
While looking for Purple Hairstreaks at Browndown near Gosport we came across this Emperor Dragonfly munching on a bee.
This is an inside view of an individual button of the Pants Interface. This piece is a momentary switch, constructed from scratch out of fabric. This one uses about ten pieces of fabric to create a shape that closes a circuit when you press it.
Researching a new piece which is to be hung in a Leicestershire church as part of a Festival of Angels.
The drawing is one I made in Canterbury Cathedral many years ago and the book illustration is from the Lindisfarne Gospels
I started this today, and if I am a good girl and stay off the computer, I can finish it tonight. :)
Another AWESOME freebie pattern, courtesy of Badbird.

I don't asked Janet but hope she's ok !!
There's no sticker on the frame. Letters are resurfacing (Sablage) on polish aluminium.
The start of a new project.
There is a process which is inevitable.
This is:
The sorting of the threads.
The cleaning of the sewing machine.
The winding of the bobbins.
The clearing of the work table.
And finally, the thorough washing of the spectacles!
A very rare day alone, which I am setting aside for stitching and gardening. More of the former I hope.
The Suffragettes.
This shows two sample brooches made using textile, image transfers, paint, emamelling powder and wire.
once i settled on a basic design for the button i started making different types, to see what geometries work the best. I still haven't made the perfect button but we are narrowing in on something durable, consistent, and easy to construct.
