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

I have been experimenting today with making chains out of a variety of materials.

Some were formed from ripped fabric and finger crocheted, some were made out of wool and crocheted with a hook, and others were knitted in a loose manner.

The textured background is building up nicely.

Collaboration with ceramicist Trevor Lillistone for Arts Council funded 'Two Make' project with Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen. The project developed into a touring exhibition to Corinnium Muesum, Cirencester, Museum in hte Park, Stroud, Walford Mill, Dorset.

have been drawing in my lunchbreaks on some days over the past two weeks. Drawing old law books in the library I work in. This was completed over three sessions. I've posted the work in progress on my blog this week. www.alissaduke.com/2015/08/old-law-books.html

My drawings of Library books and shelves are available on Greeting Cards www.etsy.com/au/shop/AlissaDuke

Filled with goodies

Yeah, I'm bored.

And the shelf is up!

Not sure I'm loving the pink wedge - I did a light and dark of each color, and my thought was that light red is actually pink, but I'm not sure I like that. Maybe a darker pink would work better there...

A peek at the rest of the Pocket Stufflings:)

I'm so glad I remembered this pattern from the wacky Australian quilting magazine I bought almost a year ago because it's perfect for Rouenneries.

This is for a quilt that I'm making. Blogged here: harvestmoonbyhand.blogspot.com/2011/11/babe-blue-ox-art-e...

Looks good

this is how i plan to scale the universe

thinking of the composition

These flowers were made from painted non-woven interfacing with centres of dyed kitchen sponge. The flowers were waxed with acrylic wax before they were sewn to the waistcoat.

I'm running a workshop tomorrow and this is the mess I've got into whilst preparing the session.

You should see the laundry and the kitchen too- I've been spreading myself about somewhat.

Still working on it, but I think this should about do it. Allows for nearly full range of articulation, and for the armor layout I like without inhibiting joints.

Changed the knee, elbow, and ankle confirgurations. Also redid the forearm armoring and skirt armor mounts slightly. PROGRESS!

I was given a sheet of magazine scraps which had been applied to a background in a haphazard manner and was asked to use this as a source of inspiration!

I find this sort of challenge VERY difficult as I usually work to an idea, not an image.

After a mild panic I decided to gesso the whole page in an attempt to tone down the images and then I used it to create a folder which I then die cut and embossed.

I then grabbed the scrap bag and started to machine embroider images which started to leap from the page.

This is one sample.

Lots going on in the studio on this wet and windy day.

I'm experimenting with some further techniques using tea bags. These are drying on some sketch book paper and they are leaving some interesting marks.
