Part of my new project - a book called "The space between"

As usual, this is getting very complex both in imagery and in structure.

I have decided that some pages will have to be solid, that is without cut through's, as viewing the images from both sides leads to rather too many decisions.

Copious quantities of tea have been required during the designing of these two pages, and I have only shown one view here.

I may change the layout of these pages when I come to assemble the book.

I've been staying up late into the night FEARLESS™ Painting. Here is a work in progress.

These are only the colors in the first box..I cannot deny that it was very exciting to open all of them!!

Thinking about Christmas? I know some very organised people who are which is why I'm busy making White Christmas Birds this week.

A page of a little book to be.

A couple more leaves and some berries. This might take a while.

The start of a small canvas piece in the Women's Suffrage Series - forced feeding.

I am laying down a base coat here.

The right hand side has been gessoed, painted with acrylic paint and dyes and then overstamped with metallic paints.

On top of this I have bonded a layer of Bondaweb which I have then heated with a heat gun and then sprinkled with chunky embossing powder.

You have to do this a section at a time as you have to sprinkle the powder on a warm surface and then pat it down. When it looks attached to the base, you then zap it with a heat gun which causes the powder to melt.

I have overpainted parts of this with a mixture of metallic paint and lustre powder.

Old progress pics of the last stages of Ingenue before molding.

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...

Lots going on in the studio at the moment, none of which is any where near completion.

This shows you my desk this morning where I have decorated scraps of paper and fabric with various art mediums.The piece at the top on the right is one I made using the ideas of Anne Bagby. I collaged various lightweight paper on to a tissue backing and then overprinted and painted this.

These papers and fabric are destined to be chopped up and used in a variety of ways.

I've added the squares to a glittery background and then backed it with fleece and I will be stitching over the squares to hold them down

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

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.

I used this rough sketch to inspire the first figure I embroidered.

My current project. I'm just adding bits as I go along with minimal planning. Something I can do in front of the TV!

I decided to have a bit of fun and make a wacky handbag. This is the first stage.

I went to a scrummy shop in Much Wenlock ( Ippkin... www.ippkin.co.uk) and bought some Colinette yarn ( www.colinette.com) and a shell button in a wonderful deep yellow colour.

I then used a pair of 20 mm needles to losely knit a rectangle, which I will now weave with strips of knotted fabric and other strange things.

Watch this space!

A snowy day which I spent in the studio decorating fabric and paper.

This piece of newspaper was underneath the fabric to protect the table whilst i was painting.

I used it to stitch into and then crumpled and rubbed it until it shrunk

Ready for the next project

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.

Recreating the Zelda overworld in microscale.

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.

Air drying clay on a lap tray.

I'm starting to make some cards.

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.
