I used this rough sketch to inspire the first figure I embroidered.

Preparing the canvas - at last. Months of research have led up to this moment. I'm almost scared to start

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

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...

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

these are 5x5" canvases with a pool blue background. Faces are peach with black outline and their hair is brown.

 

I based the images on the winning poster design for the Really Arty Poster Contest: images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/4700000/FotC-Poster-Cont...

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.

Thinking about the fabrics combination and the possibilities... I'm not sure yet...

Sampling my new project.

Machine embroidery sample.

I've been working steadily on my next exhibition piece which is entitled "Brexit - the first lie"

The background fabric is a piece of distressed black denim and I'm adding slits to this to denote the cracks in society caused by the result of the referendum.

These slits are backed with fragments of old paper which I machined over, coloured and varnished.

They will be eventually "papered over"

possible submission to Lucy May Schofield's BABL project; another book in the she said/I said series

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.

I started on Amber a week ago and just picked her back up. You can see where I've already ripped out part of her head and am starting over. As always, the dark colors aren't photographing very well.
