Part of my new project - a book called "The space between"
As usual, this is getting very complex both in imagery and in structure.
I have decided that some pages will have to be solid, that is without cut through's, as viewing the images from both sides leads to rather too many decisions.
Copious quantities of tea have been required during the designing of these two pages, and I have only shown one view here.
I may change the layout of these pages when I come to assemble the book.
The start of a new project.
There is a process which is inevitable.
This is:
The sorting of the threads.
The cleaning of the sewing machine.
The winding of the bobbins.
The clearing of the work table.
And finally, the thorough washing of the spectacles!
A very rare day alone, which I am setting aside for stitching and gardening. More of the former I hope.
Thinking about Christmas? I know some very organised people who are which is why I'm busy making White Christmas Birds this week.
BIP Box in progress /WIP have a little box of goodies where one has turned into three and to keep them all together I put them in this little brown box. They almost finished. Except for the clothes. I'll keep you posted.
I found this old canvas when I was looking for something else in my attic.
It was part of the Ada Lovelace series, but in the end I rejected it as too bland.
So, I have now decided to recyle it and as you can see I have pulled some of the motifs off the canvas and I have painted over the rest.
The first layer was black gesso, then dark red acrylic and a bronze acrylic layer on top.
It now awaits another layer of black acrylic.
I just love painting over stitching and fabric and seeing something new emerge.
The Musk Orchid can reproduce vegetatively and so it is common to find them in pairs, clumps and groups.

The drawing is one I made in Canterbury Cathedral many years ago and the book illustration is from the Lindisfarne Gospels

once i settled on a basic design for the button i started making different types, to see what geometries work the best. I still haven't made the perfect button but we are narrowing in on something durable, consistent, and easy to construct.
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.
this painting lasted a little over a week on the gallery walls before someone bought it.

Today was gorgeous and wonderful and warm, but there wasn't time for taking pictures of apple blossoms and blue skies because we were too busy shopping at PQW for more greens for Schnookie's wedding ring quilt, and a gorgeous bold gold background for Boomer's wedding ring quilt. To commemorate that successful shopping trip, here's a picture of my wedding ring quilt, made with my Anna Maria Horner scraps and a background of Kona Snow. I cannot get over how amazing this is looking. I love, love, love, love, love this project!

I started this today, and if I am a good girl and stay off the computer, I can finish it tonight. :)
