Lots going on in the studio at the moment, none of which is any where near completion.
This shows you my desk this morning where I have decorated scraps of paper and fabric with various art mediums.The piece at the top on the right is one I made using the ideas of Anne Bagby. I collaged various lightweight paper on to a tissue backing and then overprinted and painted this.
These papers and fabric are destined to be chopped up and used in a variety of ways.
I've added the squares to a glittery background and then backed it with fleece and I will be stitching over the squares to hold them down
Mozaique was fascinated by the tree last night! The photo sucks, because I grabbed the closest camera which was my cell phone to make sure I wouldn't miss the shot. Real life scrapbooking! LOL
My current project. I'm just adding bits as I go along with minimal planning. Something I can do in front of the TV!
I decided to have a bit of fun and make a wacky handbag. This is the first stage.
I went to a scrummy shop in Much Wenlock ( Ippkin... www.ippkin.co.uk) and bought some Colinette yarn ( www.colinette.com) and a shell button in a wonderful deep yellow colour.
I then used a pair of 20 mm needles to losely knit a rectangle, which I will now weave with strips of knotted fabric and other strange things.
Watch this space!

A snowy day which I spent in the studio decorating fabric and paper.
This piece of newspaper was underneath the fabric to protect the table whilst i was painting.
I used it to stitch into and then crumpled and rubbed it until it shrunk
...shuffle here and there...almost ready for the patchwork section....

I was initally excited about stitching up this lady. Now I am mad at her. Perhaps it was the changes I made? Maybe I shouldn't have given her cleavage, or changed her head covering into hair? Maybe I need to shut up and just keep stitching until she looks nice.
To finish him up - sew the red buttons on the hat to make a flower, sew the hat onto the head, sew the head onto the body.

getting ready to tie in another thread & work the 4th pass, then the beaded band will be rolled together and woven into a round rope
some beads for another project have started sneaking onto my work tray (pretty pink porcelain donut)
BUT now i'm going to crochet, I think I will finish my green scarf today. I don't feel any real urgency to finish this beadwork, just enjoying the process, very zen.
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.
possible submission to Lucy May Schofield's BABL project; another book in the she said/I said series
Preparing the canvas - at last. Months of research have led up to this moment. I'm almost scared to start
New castings from my workshop in silver - for ear cuffs, cuff links, rings and brooches. Finally, 'Stiffy' the wee prototype skeleton was finished, a mould made of and 'sons' were cast. He is the darkest skeleton on the right: The silver blackens slightly when a vulkanised rubber mould is made, due to the heat involved.
