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

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"
A series of thumbnail photos showing the work in progress of "MakaiLynn" done in Conte Crayon and NuPastels

One way of ensuring they stay put is to mount them temporarily on to mount board using double sided tape.
possible submission to Lucy May Schofield's BABL project; another book in the she said/I said series
New castings from my workshop in silver - for ear cuffs, cuff links, rings and brooches. Finally, 'Stiffy' the wee prototype skeleton was finished, a mould made of and 'sons' were cast.
