The final stage of my "Anxiety" piece which has dogged me for many months.
The background colour was still a concern so I added a violet dye to the whole which was more pleasing.

I have been working on a piece about anxiety in confinement for three months.
The time has come to add a figure to this and I have been sampling various ideas which will be put into a book.
The exhibition is scheduled for July and the book should accompany the (hopefully) finished piece
Learning to plan ahead for both surface treatment and glazing/staining options...this seed-pod ocarina began as a large, rather thick, pinch pot. Once the top rim of the pinch pot was sealed, the handmade bell, airway pipe, and handle were added.
This one plays nicely although slightly 'breathy'...but it is a good 'breathy".

For our examen stunt we painted a "Mens Erger je Niet" ("Human, don't be Annoyed", a dutch game) playboard on our schoolyard, how neat is that? Our slogan was "School's a game, just play it"

Counted that I have only 18 more to crochet to finish. That doesn't seem so bad. Maybe it will get done this year after all.
Design modification : I have decided to 'scale down' the design to one panel instead of the original one which was a 'three-panel design'; reason being the stitches and joints are uneven (not close enough to be 'Sashiko'-standard).

Found my old (very old) unfinished project. And can't stop to wonder how that tiny crosses turn the splashes on a fabric to this amazing bright picture!
The whole squad is going to be named after Iron Maiden songs. Lead tank probably going to be called Wraithchild.
i like how my collages look before i draw in the details, might try doing more without ink in the future
This book will be called "Fear".
I'm increasingly struck by the presence of this emotion in everyday life: the press and TV are awash with reports which add to this fear.
My record will involve words and images which will be contained in an individually designed folder.
Brown card, white acrylic paint, masking tape and ink.
Work in progress
About half way through a work in progress. The highest print is from a copper plate that I abandoned because I left it in the acid too long and it etched too deeply, which meant that all of the tone printed as pure black. Very dramatic, but no use. The lower three are from another plate. I etched it until it printed quite dark, but wasn't as horrible as the first one, and I've been burnishing it gradually to bring out highlights and more interesting tones. Also, obviously, I used blue ink for the most recent proof. Maybe I'll go back to black, though.
