getting ready to tie in another thread & work the 4th pass, then the beaded band will be rolled together and woven into a round rope
some beads for another project have started sneaking onto my work tray (pretty pink porcelain donut)
BUT now i'm going to crochet, I think I will finish my green scarf today. I don't feel any real urgency to finish this beadwork, just enjoying the process, very zen.
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!
I sat for two and a half hours last night, painting the watercolour paper with water and rubbing it with my finger.
This had two results: it broke up the surface of the paper, so that the paint will sink in, and it gave a distressed effect to the whole piece.
Also, my finger was sore!
It was whilst I was waiting for paint to dry on another project that I spied an abandoned canvas in my workroom.
I coated it with tissue paper, acrylic paint and gesso, and then added various paint effects on top.
After sanding it with a sanding block I added tea stains, buttons and dyed lace.
This canvas will hold my collection of "glitzy" necklaces and is destined for my bedroom.
It is a work in progress as I have lots more memorabilia to add.
After four hard months of a total rebuild and extension I am now in possession of a studio. This is still a storage area pending decoration, and as I have to complete a four foot hanging in the next two days I am forced to work in a very tiny area in part of this room.
I have shown here my pin board with my "tapestry" attached to it. I am trying to position the daisy and the bottom border here. Lots more work to do!
I'm committed to a selling exhibition next week - I thing I avoid if at all possible.
So it's down to batch production methods.
Here is the start of some of my whimsies which I make out of air dry clay and fabric.
These are tiny creatures - the largest is two inches in length.
A mock up using newspaper. I thought that I could individualise these boxes by using photographs of the intended recipients.
Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.
