These flowers were made from painted non-woven interfacing with centres of dyed kitchen sponge. The flowers were waxed with acrylic wax before they were sewn to the waistcoat.
I'm running a workshop tomorrow and this is the mess I've got into whilst preparing the session.
You should see the laundry and the kitchen too- I've been spreading myself about somewhat.
Still working on it, but I think this should about do it. Allows for nearly full range of articulation, and for the armor layout I like without inhibiting joints.
Changed the knee, elbow, and ankle confirgurations. Also redid the forearm armoring and skirt armor mounts slightly. PROGRESS!
I was given a sheet of magazine scraps which had been applied to a background in a haphazard manner and was asked to use this as a source of inspiration!
I find this sort of challenge VERY difficult as I usually work to an idea, not an image.
After a mild panic I decided to gesso the whole page in an attempt to tone down the images and then I used it to create a folder which I then die cut and embossed.
I then grabbed the scrap bag and started to machine embroider images which started to leap from the page.
This is one sample.
Close up of some of the details I am working on for my big space/scifi painting!

Lots going on in the studio on this wet and windy day.
I'm experimenting with some further techniques using tea bags. These are drying on some sketch book paper and they are leaving some interesting marks.
I attended a class given by Anne Conybeare yesterday at Westhope College during which we looked at the work of Andre Gurtler and Denise Lach.
We had a session using a "Cola pen" which was fun, and then we did some "nonsense writing" using a medium of our choice.
I enjoy writing with correction fluid, so this is what I used, and I then ran an ink wash over it. I used cheap brown paper for the backing.
I am now translating some of the marks into stitch and making a small book to showcase the samples.
darkroom print. this was my first attempt at using filters in the darkroom. and my first attempt at using split grade printing. this was a 30 sec burn. 15 sec with 0 grade filter, and 15 sec with a 5 grade filter. still working on perfecting this print.
I want to improve my previous camera (www.flickr.com/photos/effixe/sets/72157601000121315/), so i have to design a new one.
i drew this out shape based on pictures i have seen of the abelson Omniscope but the guide film is different. It's made from polarized circular filters that will act as ball bearings with more frictions...
this first design (with illustrator...) lead me to learn SketchUp and now i'm working on it : www.flickr.com/photos/diy-effixe/6352411763/in/photostream/
