I'm coming to the end of a major suffrage piece and in an attempt to reduce the amount of rejects which always builds up after a project is finished, I've decided to place my samples in dedicated books.
This is the first book, which I made out of purchased flower embedded paper.
I'm learning what I can do with my new camera, and it seems that photographing fire is rather tricky. I'll be working on this.
To finish him up - sew the red buttons on the hat to make a flower, sew the hat onto the head, sew the head onto the body.

Work in Progress

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?
In this sample I painted some non-woven interfacing with ink and then heat bonded some chunky enamelling powder on top
I bought three canvases last week and they have been intimidating me ever since.
Two are needed for projects which I have almost finished and the other ( the largest) is for an exhibition in the Autumn.
I took the plunge today as the weather has improved overnight and prepared the backgrounds for the first two pieces.
One is covered with tissue, the other with pieces of French newspaper. They will both be coated with gesso later
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...
The builder came today, and it's confirmed. From June 15th this roof comes down, the rubble underneath gets cleared, and work starts on the "Monviso Room". At last!
Decorative grid sample. The strips are felt, decorated with heat bonded enamelling powder and the links are painted paper. This could be developed further
It's rare I photograph other people, and generally like most people I less taken with photos of myself, but I thought I'd have a go at a workshop self portrait.
I have been thinking about a forthcoming exhibition at a National Trust property near here later in the Spring. I am to submit work for display in the Gardener's Bothy and for this I am making some miniature garden books.
I have long had an interest in dolls' houses and miniatures and an exhaustive search of the attic has unearthed a miniature greenhouse I made many years ago.
At that time I had made a clay tile floor, and I'd even marked clearly on the back of each tile it's relevant position.
All I can say is that either the tiles have warped in the meanwhile or I got my numbering wrong but I've struggled today setting the tiles into the floor without to many gaps.
This is the result.
I've just brushed dried tea leaves into the surface of the tiles and the gaps in the hope that it will look like earth.
It's very uneven and will make the furniture wobbly but it does add a little authenticity to the space.
I previously made a full sized mushroom and I am now trying out ideas for miniature versions.
These have to be simplified so that the small scale isn't swamped by too much detail.
this is the functional prototype of the Pants Interface wireless button controller! This piece is made up of two momentary switches (constructed from scratch out of fabric) and a microcontroller. The microcontroller is a jeenode, which has an integrated HopeRF wireless radio. I've also used his sweet little power board that lets it run from a single AA battery.
