I am leading a workshop called "The Book Artist as an explorer" and as a result I have discovered some treasures which have been hidden from view for a while.
I am now inspired to carry on with some work which has been left unfinished for some time
This shows some examples of pottery collected on beaches in Shetland

Hii lovies ♥
Its been awhile since the last WIP I've showed so here's the work in progress of the set I'm preparing for the October round of Equal10!
I'm enjoying so much creating this and there's more thing to show you because this set is more complete than what you can see in this pic. Stay tuned!
Equal10 opens next October 10th :D
Love, Safira ♥

Work in progress - Women's Suffrage series.
I have been musing about backgrounds as I'm not ready to plunge into a major piece yet.
Throughout this series it has been obvious that the strength of the movement was that women joined together for strength, and so I have been thinking about how I can illustrate this in my pieces.
It was whilst looking at pictures of some of the early members that I observed that their clothes were tucked, pin tucked, pleated and smocked.
This has lead me to my current obsession with pleating.
I have borrowed from my local branch of the Embroiderer's Guild a "Read Pleater", which is a fearsome looking instrument, but which is suprisingly easy to use.
My main discovery is that if you feed the fabric through uneavenly, that is if you add tucks and overlaps as it goes into the machine, you discover interesting surfaces.
Silk works best in my view.
I am SO excited by the possiblities of this technique.... could I print on it, image transfer on to it, or what if I drew on to it? WOW
... having a closer look at my compass showed that I can attach my cutting knife to it. Circle Tessellations here I come. Thanks to Robin for inspiration and diagrams on how to grid a circle.
I bought this pair of compasses for Origami purposes. Chose this one mainly for the thing, you see still in the box which makes it possible to draw large circles.
