Not sure I'm feeling this, either. Probably gonna scrap it in the morning.

Coming soon ^__^

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

not a great photo, but a fun knitting/crochet project :-) Mitered squares with a crochet edge - almost done now!

Progress - The laid thread is lovely to stitch, but boy do I dislike all those tails on the back!!!

What will you leave behind?

A pencil teapot for Mobilia- I hope I can figure out how to make it work. As in, finish it, haha.

Softlove work in progress

Progress - the work on the back takes way longer than the front. Such a relief when it is done.

I'm not any good at buildings, but they're not really the focal point of the eventual scene here. Respect to those who can build non-shite-looking buildings; I promise to try and silently mock you far less.

Still a lot of details and work to do yet, just wanted to show off what I've spent most of my weekend on so far. Not perfect, but satisfactory as a WIP.

It will become a wide angle pinhole camera.

Please see previous posts regarding the making of the face.

I have now coated the face with several layers of soy wax and then I padded it underneath before stitching it to the croched and knitted background.

This picture shows the extent of the moulding of the face.

Mixed media.

Progress.

First four fillings complete

Our upcoming release.

This shows a close up of the machine stitching. I have put a layer of chiffon over the velvet which has been embellished with embossing crystals.

Some of the crystals are very thick so I avoided stitching over them.

I will now burn away the chiffon with a heat gun.

This morning's view. There is no use tidying up as I'm in mid production ( excuse)

HFF

Today the entire block of buildings has been demolished.

These hang around the studio, getting in the way and looking more and more bedraggled.

I have taken the bull by the horns and made a hanging display book so that they are now all in one place and out of the way.

This is the first stage.

As I wanted the pages to be easily removable I have safety pinned these to individual pieces of dyed blanket which will act as the book hinges.

Ready to be iced, hopefully they won't be eaten by the owls lurking inderneath them.

Work in progress for some ATC cards.

we call it the "busy bee" art studio..that's why the bees are there.

A true WorkInProgress - I do not know what will become of this, but I have decided that whatever it is, it will happen tomorrow. Perhaps a bag.

These are the leftovers from the last three baby blankets - a blue part, a green-and-pink part... and a part of multicolored leftovers.

Oh - and there are 19 different fabrics received in swaps in this one!

I am re-visiting stumpwork and I have unearthed some old pictures from a time when I used to teach this subject.

I have put aside my womens' suffrage studies to ready myself for the General Election which should be in the early part of this year.

I have always made a piece for the Election, and this year I thought that I would revisit stumpwork and in particular the padded faces I used to embroider. These would be interesting made into political jewellery.

Watch this space!
