Progress - The laid thread is lovely to stitch, but boy do I dislike all those tails on the back!!!

Old progress pics of the last stages of Ingenue before molding.

What will you leave behind?

A pencil teapot for Mobilia- I hope I can figure out how to make it work. As in, finish it, haha.

Progress - the work on the back takes way longer than the front. Such a relief when it is done.

I'm not any good at buildings, but they're not really the focal point of the eventual scene here. Respect to those who can build non-shite-looking buildings; I promise to try and silently mock you far less.

Still a lot of details and work to do yet, just wanted to show off what I've spent most of my weekend on so far. Not perfect, but satisfactory as a WIP.

For Fiona.

It will become a wide angle pinhole camera.

Please see previous posts regarding the making of the face.

I have now coated the face with several layers of soy wax and then I padded it underneath before stitching it to the croched and knitted background.

This picture shows the extent of the moulding of the face.

Mixed media.

Progress.

First four fillings complete

Since the release of Sayuri I've been working on a softer skin again, a softer version of Eva if you will. Though I try to make my skins look "real", I find my personal preference fighting that all the way, and I want to stick to the handdrawn/pastel look.

For the interested: The bikini is from Artilleri and the hair is from Fri.day

Our upcoming release.

This shows a close up of the machine stitching. I have put a layer of chiffon over the velvet which has been embellished with embossing crystals.

Some of the crystals are very thick so I avoided stitching over them.

I will now burn away the chiffon with a heat gun.

This morning's view. There is no use tidying up as I'm in mid production ( excuse)

Awaiting teeth and eyes.

Today the entire block of buildings has been demolished.

Number 7 in a series of images showing construction of a LEGO model of the Ford Building in Detroit (1909 - Daniel Burnham architect).

After the top floor visible in the picture is complete, the final three floors with the large arches is next.

Ready to be iced, hopefully they won't be eaten by the owls lurking inderneath them.

They are "tapped" and ready to be sandblasted prior to the blackening bath.

Then after neutralization, the will be dried prior to being coated with a couple of coats of clear Matt Sealer that I use.

Work in progress for some ATC cards.

we call it the "busy bee" art studio..that's why the bees are there.

I am re-visiting stumpwork and I have unearthed some old pictures from a time when I used to teach this subject.

I have put aside my womens' suffrage studies to ready myself for the General Election which should be in the early part of this year.

I have always made a piece for the Election, and this year I thought that I would revisit stumpwork and in particular the padded faces I used to embroider. These would be interesting made into political jewellery.

Watch this space!
