A very modest start...

I've been holding onto to my bundle of Tanya Whelan's "Darla" collection, waiting for the right project, and now I've found it.

mixed media collage works, in acrylic. I have been burning it up lately, and these are stages of works in progress. eventually i want to make time lapse gifs.

I like to pretend that I am artistic, but the truth is I can't draw to save my life.

Pattern found here.

Remontage en cours.........

I don't know if this is the technical way to be doing the stem stitch, but I like the way this looks so I really don't care. ;)

My new project is to make a mixed media piece based on the prison door of Stafford Gaol which Emma Sproson describes in her memoires.

She speaks in some detail about the marks and messages scratched onto its surface.

The base of the piece is calico, on to which I have hand stitched further pieces of calico and linen.

I am now adding another layer of hand stitching as well as areas of PVA. I have scratched marks into the surface of the PVA and when this layer is dry I hope to add further layers of acrylic modelling paste, emulsion paint and then a top layer of acrylic paint ( and anything else which comes to hand!).

I hope that the final impression is that of a dark, multi-layered piece.

It measures about 3 foot by 4 foot at the moment, but it could end up much larger.

As I knitted with such large needles, the resulting piece is very stretchy.

Here I show some samples of the lining material ( left) and samples of the fabric and wool I will be weaving through the knitting.

Work in progress on the instruction sheet for the SETI science kit.

The day after the Sewing for Pleasure show. My desk.

I bought several exciting items, some of which I used today. I also tidied up my samples and used them to make cards.

pilau rice, naan bread, various chutney

Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.

I'm so frustrated with this, I'm not even going to say much about it.

This chip runs on the Atmel STK-500 programmer. Then it doesn't run on my breadboard. Then it runs on the Atmel STK-500 programmer.

Of course Google is useless - AVR development is such a popular hobby that there's no useful information (to me) to be found.

Cuss.

This is the back, again, with the shells just placed to see how they look. The different sections are embroidered in different styles, to reinforce their differences.
