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!
A mock up using newspaper. I thought that I could individualise these boxes by using photographs of the intended recipients.
the chair was only there on Fairfax Avenue for his one photo. The next
day and subsequently it was gone !
This shows machine embroidery on to a sandwich of chiffon, knitting and a cotton base.
The wool fibres of the knitted piece have been trapped behind the chiffon, but when I burn away the chiffon with a heat gun, some of the fibres will spring back.
Work in progress from our weekend on the Sail Club island during a camp for the kids. I thought the sketch was too unfinished like this, but then the end result is kind of over worked. Should I have quitted here anyway?
Acrylic on Board
Work in Progress
Background still needs work and the odd bit of tweaking. Almost there
I promise it's straight, this is the best photo I could get before the wind blew it down.
Still need to add borders, I'm debating doing pieced ones but I'm not sure if I have any patience left in me.

I'm working on some collage/assemblage/mixed media stuff. I haven't done that for a while.
That is my hand reflected in the fish mirror.
Another go at the image I took last week though this time it's on a tripod.
5x4 is at the hospital...
Close-up of new elbow layout. I like this change a LOT, it allows for full range of motion without looking too gangly.
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!
For TR, because he inspired it...I just don't have the inspiration or drive to finish it.
The idea was to create a submarine with the ability to deploy an aquatic-capable mobile suit. It more or less can do this, and has the rough shape I want, but I kind of lost interest and want to build something else. Maybe I will return to it one day...
My second banner this one is for Grace's room I throughly enjoyed making this one and fell in love with the paper I used 'Bo Bunny Ella Toile' aswell as vintage German ledger paper glittered vellum some bling and crepe paper rosettes to name a few elements I intend to paint some mini pegs pink and to finish off with a ribbon of some vintage discription xx
Gilly is the second of the post apocalyptic series we will be doing. So far, she's had a hair cut, but will be getting a partial change to her face. I think blue eyes and different lipstick yet to be decided.
The group of ghouls are going to be post-apocalyptic survivors of a human-monster war. Monsters aren't evil per se, but some groups of humans absolutely refused to accept that it was ok to be different. Monsters and humans alike found themselves victims of the zealots.
Anyway, the style I'll be trying to achieve with these will be kind of a grunge look (children of the 80's and 90's, you know what the heck I'm talking about!)
Half completed items waiting for attention.
I had intended to spend the morning in the garden but a continuation of the recent heavy rain has caused a change of plan.
This scavenger hunt will be linked through twitter. These NL taps will be hidden throughout Northern Liberties, hints will be given each day for a week. The first person to find it will receive an open bar at participating NoLibs bars.
One of the rarest flowers in England. In fact so rare it has its own 20 foot by 40 foot cage for protection and visits to see the flower are by permit only and accompanied by the warden and arranged through the Wildlife Trust. The route into the flower was so overgrown and complicated (maybe deliberately so) that I'm not sure I could ever find it again anyway. It was also difficult to photograph given how far away the cage made us and several people in the group (30 people altogether) only had relatively short focal length macro lenses which would have meant a very small flower in their images. Not the greatest photograph but included for rarity value.
Once I got the basic design of the button down (let's call it a sort of square top hat) I spent a bunch of time iterating - making slightly different versions, jamming them in my pocket, and trying to get them to fault.
While I was doing this lilia was ninja chopping the code. We still need to develop how we process the signals. Signal processing, ah. What does a button press look like? How long should it send a signal for? How long should it wait before sending another one?
