Saw this project in Bead and Button Magazine and had to have a go!
It worked! Now just have to use it in an imaginate way - watch this space!
These are only the colors in the first box..I cannot deny that it was very exciting to open all of them!!
The start of a small canvas piece in the Women's Suffrage Series - forced feeding.
I am laying down a base coat here.
The right hand side has been gessoed, painted with acrylic paint and dyes and then overstamped with metallic paints.
On top of this I have bonded a layer of Bondaweb which I have then heated with a heat gun and then sprinkled with chunky embossing powder.
You have to do this a section at a time as you have to sprinkle the powder on a warm surface and then pat it down. When it looks attached to the base, you then zap it with a heat gun which causes the powder to melt.
I have overpainted parts of this with a mixture of metallic paint and lustre powder.
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.
STROBIST: SB-800 rear right the object, camera flash for slave.
Pardon, I'm really NOT a still lifer: for better works see The King of Lights stream.
Chiedo scusa, non sono uno still lifer: se volete vedere molto di meglio guardatevi lo stream del King of Lights.
After changing out a bunch of things, I think he's ready for some background glass. I'm still thinking about the bottom of his left ear though...
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!

I was not sure if these two guys could handle holding up a wall and securing it to the foundation by themselves, but they sure knew how to do it and did not need my help at all.
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

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.
Underneath all those paper scraps are my angry, stressed-out words.
Made for Dawn Sokol's Art Journal Stimulus Project. (www.dblogala.com/)
Grrrrr, grumble. I was totally loving this project until I did the pepper's legs & arm. I wish I'd used less strands of floss. It's been a wip that I haven't touched since last Fall, so I guess technically it's a ufo now. :(
