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.
For the ordination stole.
The eventual motif will be cream on cream silk, but I'm using other colours and weights of fabric here to try out the outline and the stitching.
Boring!!!!!!
You print out an image using an ink jet printer and then lay it face down on your work table. This then somehow becomes caught underneath an image which you are washing with paint.
I find the resulting mix of printer ink and pigment paint very appealing.
Paint and printer ink on computer paper.
Made using just fabric from my stash. Mix of quilting cottons, japanese fabrics and pillowcases and sheets I've picked up from charity shops for the blocks - it worked out to be about 50/50 scraps/yardage, the sashing is good old Lincraft Homespun.

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.
Finally got some decent pictures due to the addition of small floodlights :-) Shows the colouring of the tiles much more accurately.
Our hand puppeter Steven Medlin. He's a very skill hand and body artist. He recently worked on Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd so has a good film pedigree. He's dressed as a Ninja so we'll only see his hands on camera. The rest will be blacked out.
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 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.
