Was home sick from work all day, and still feeling lousy. The upside is I built some more buildings and additional stuff for the layout.
This isn't a "final scene", I just got bored and wanted to test an idea.
i don't know what to make of this yet. i enjoyed working on the tree as it was all off the top of my head.

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.
Work in progress for some ATC cards. Do you remember all the rules about table manners? Yeah me neither. I'll post the finished products later.

some work photos of a new pattern, part of a folding study. this is the level 2 recursion, sadly done on paper that's been used for other folding before (hence the horrible wear marks and holes). the pattern also doesn't fit! oops. need bigger paper and more space!
as mentioned in the thread on this photo, I'm doing some groundwork checking out new patterns for a large piece I'm working on. this is a possible contender, as I like the pattern of light that the funky 30 degree inset makes behind the central flowery bit- so it looks like a hexagon, or a really sharp pinwheel. or something. this effect is best seen on the level 1 recursion (as linked above).
I had also considered adding additional length to the space between the "flower" segments, with the expectation of finding a way to graft in an additional set of twists using hexagonal symmetry in the empty spaces. Might still do that, but it uses up an awful lot of space, and I'll have to spend 2 or 3 hours just precreasing the paper to try it out. I'm not a big fan of the precreasing work- if I had a machine to do it, I'd have so many designs that they'd be bursting out the door of my office.
but all efforts to build a machine to effectively precrease the paper have failed so far, requiring the need for a precisely milled sheet of aluminum and some rolling presses, neither of which I have on hand. some other day!
still working on it... although it may not look like it's changed much, I totally screwed up her face this morning, and spent hours getting her to look half way okay again.
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...
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.
Work in progress.
"What shall I wear today - who am I?"
This final section shows a woman as a voter ( at last).
I have made it out of pleated shot silk and ribbons with added computer designed text. It is covered by a plastic dome which has the effect of ageing the sentiment.

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.

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
