WIP Stop Motion Animation Workshop lead by M Jiang at the Holland Project, January 2022. This workshop was part of the 2022-2023 Work In Progress program.

Lots of sorting out and tidying up going on in the space this week before I head off to China on Saturday for two weeks (for work but there will be some play of course).

What's going down in this little section:

- Packaging an order for new stockist Reverse Garbage, eco-felt lavender birds and embroidered brooches are on their way.

- The new issue of Mix Tape in case of delayed flights and Mr Suave notebook from Jellygnite.

- A pile of books for book club. If you've read any Haruki Murakami I'd love to know which is your favourite?

There's also lots of organising of hand sewing into little travel bags, if only there was a way to take these on the plane then I would be truly happy, oh well guess I'll just have to force myself to take a break and watch some in-flight movies ;)

TAMWORTH JAM....Full peice to come

This is a model which my daughter made whilst in Nursery. She said that it was me!.

I pressed heated forma foam ( memory foam) into the face and I hope to use the imprint to print on to paper and fabric. I could get very excited about the possibilities of this product. It seems to be mostly used for taking imprints of natural products, such as leaves. Angie uses embroidered Indian fabrics from which to take an impression. ... but what about using your own stitching or mixed media piece..... it's almost like a collograph in reverse.

"Expose Me - Counting Crows"

I have so many talents

I'm afraid to show them

People may not like them

So they're hidden

Hidden within

Where no one can hate them!

Or appreciate them?

I have so many dreams

I'm afraid to reveal them

People may not accept them

So they're hidden

Hidden within

Where no one can kill them!

Or fulfill them?

I have so many beautiful thoughts

I'm afraid to share them

People may ignore them

So they're hidden

Hidden within

Where no one can ignore them!

Or enjoy them?

I hate to hide

I hide cause I'm lonely

I need someone who will expose me

Is it you?

So I've been toying with the idea of poses for a long time. nothing animated, just expressive emotional poses for pictures. I'll be doing singles, and couple poses. I'll post them as I finish them. I'm no good with advertisement ads. anyhow preview of first pose creation. I need some tips on how to keep the pose from moving..so any tips are welcome. thanks Lexia

Fire's riding to valleys of death

while shadows are rising from bloody hells

Fire's riding to Hargor, the town

where evil and terror conquered the clouds

We sing to the wind the legend of the kings

to spread our heart to the kingdom of dusk

where heroes are lost, where now reigns the Shadow Lord!

work in progress - oil and acrylic on canvas - 48"x60"

Blogged.

I am gonna make a shirt for my son's 4th birthday.

Pattern found here.

Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.

Day 2 of the children being back at school and I was happy to get an hour in at the sewing machine after a very long time away. This is a sneak peek at a new project.

I love graph paper. This is the planned block layout for "spools," a selvage quilt I'm making for Quilting in the Pines 2011.

70% Wool / 30% mohair, needles # 5

Measures 39'x37'..blame that on my inexperince of quilting. This is my third quilt, the first two only being doll quilts.

Fabric is michael Miller's Bot Camp, and a few fabrics from 'Nuts &Robolts' by Chris Reed for P&B Textiles.

I am contemplating adding a scrappy border, and making a little scrappy strip on the backing fabric as well.. Any thought?
