While looking for Purple Hairstreaks at Browndown near Gosport we came across this Emperor Dragonfly munching on a bee.
This is an example of how I use Paint Shop Pro as a design tool.
Image number one is an original mono print using acrylic paint on to calico.
Image two is the first manipulation, which involved layering on top of photographs and manipulating the image using the effects tool.
The background is a refinement of these two images using further photographs and textile backgrounds and the displacement map tool.
This simple process will give me a great many ideas to work on which will hopefully lead to a full textile piece.
I have gradually come to use this work process over time and find it most usefull, although I have to start with a sketch and develop the idea in stitch.
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?
This face is to be part of a piece on the forced feeding of Suffragettes.
I have taken the stitched newspaper and painted and sprayed it with pigment paint and acrylic paint.
I then added the features, and then wet the piece again and rubbed back part of the work to expose the grid structure. This is to illustrate the damage that the feeding tube did not only to the throat, but also to the mind.
After it had dried, I then dry brushed some Jacquard Lumiere paint in Halo and jewel colours on to the top of the paper.
I will now leave this to thoroughly dry overnight and then I will give it a couple of coats of mat medium, before stitching into it again. The shape could do with refining too.
This measures 15 inches by 10 inches
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.
From the kids bedroom.

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.

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...
