I have now stitched two sheets of Polish newspaper in a random grid pattern. After stitching I rubbed the paper for a while to shrink it and to break down the surface. This means that it will accept paint more readily.
Preparing the canvas - at last. Months of research have led up to this moment. I'm almost scared to start
STROBIST: SB-800 rear right the object, camera flash for slave.
Pardon, I'm really NOT a still lifer: for better works see The King of Lights stream.
Chiedo scusa, non sono uno still lifer: se volete vedere molto di meglio guardatevi lo stream del King of Lights.
After changing out a bunch of things, I think he's ready for some background glass. I'm still thinking about the bottom of his left ear though...
Mozaique was fascinated by the tree last night! The photo sucks, because I grabbed the closest camera which was my cell phone to make sure I wouldn't miss the shot. Real life scrapbooking! LOL
I have started to hand stitch the sandwich which is made up of a blanket background : a layer of combined knitting and crochet and a chiffon layer.
Work in progress.

I've always liked the Seraphim models but don't like how their jump pack effect is sculpted -- so trying my hand at sculpting the robes to achieve the flight effect. Still another round to go once this layer of "green stuff" is dry to fill out the robes and possibly add more "purity seals" for effect.
Computer manipulation of a sketch, printed on to watercolour paper and backed with calico.
Free machine stitched.
This is now ready for painting.
I was initally excited about stitching up this lady. Now I am mad at her. Perhaps it was the changes I made? Maybe I shouldn't have given her cleavage, or changed her head covering into hair? Maybe I need to shut up and just keep stitching until she looks nice.
I've been working steadily on my next exhibition piece which is entitled "Brexit - the first lie"
The background fabric is a piece of distressed black denim and I'm adding slits to this to denote the cracks in society caused by the result of the referendum.
These slits are backed with fragments of old paper which I machined over, coloured and varnished.
They will be eventually "papered over"
