a sushi tray unfit to be eaten from as the oils in Zircote are toxic. It would damage the paint as well. [EDIT] No actually it is not toxic at all, The oils are just an added irritant to the lungs when working it. oops. And it is ziricote, double oops.

I finally got back to this quilt I've been making for Clark, buckled down and did the main piecing of it. This has been a total bear of a no pattern quilt in that there are variable lengths and widths--all to incorporate the different sized fussy cut robots. I can't believe it actually looks pretty much like I wanted it to.

Work in progress welches nie ein Ende fand, dabei begann es doch recht gut.

torbellamonaca è un quartiere periferico di roma. situato oltre il grande raccordo anulare, il quartiere appare estraneo, più di altri, dalle dinamiche e dalle connessioni con la città. nei suoi palazzi è condensata un'umanità precaria, talvolta illegale, spesso alle soglie della povertà. tra le sue mura, a tratti carcerarie, si aprono varchi che conducono a inaspettati giardini, biblioteche, centri di aggregazione. in uno di questi varchi si è inserito il Laboratorio Museo di Arte Sperimentale de "Gli Amici", supportato dalla Comunità di Sant'Egidio e diretto dalla giovane Maria Carosio. Parte da qui la nostra esplorazione nel quartiere.

Been stretching tea-stained watercolor paper over wood framing.

The large one is 16"x20" and the small one is 11"x14"

These were treated with a glazing medium which was rather shiny when dry.

It will be the moment of truth when I print all three together!

I'm sure I will find a few things I need to change before I can declare the print finished.

Softlove work in progress

OK, so I've got one-fourth done. It was actually kind of fun! I'm just using some random scraps, some Parisville, some AMH, some Heather Bailey, so it's going to be a serious mish-mash of fabrics, but I'm just trying it out for my bee peeps - I think this is what I'm going to ask for next month in the {Sew} Beautiful Bee...now if only I could decide on some fabrics...

Softlove work in progress

Chris McConnell’s current work, being created at Chelsea Flower Garden, includes these butterfly-inspired structures, which are made from recycled steel and will hold hanging baskets.

WIP - experiment in making a corsage from scraps of furoshiki fabric - needs a button or something in the middle and a ribbon or pin on the back so it can be fixed to a furoshiki bag

I have no idea

Softlove work in progress

making paper towel jewelry for a swap.

Auditioning possible fabrics for my next project.

This is an exhibition piece under the title of "Making connections '

I realise it doesn't look much yet, but it marks the beginning of a much larger mosaic project :-)

The original idea was to start with a plastic juice bottle, but that would have meant including a utility knife in the kit. Depron foam modeling sheets seemed like the right combination of price and strength.
