This is an inside view of an individual button of the Pants Interface. This piece is a momentary switch, constructed from scratch out of fabric. This one uses about ten pieces of fabric to create a shape that closes a circuit when you press it.
Researching a new piece which is to be hung in a Leicestershire church as part of a Festival of Angels.
The drawing is one I made in Canterbury Cathedral many years ago and the book illustration is from the Lindisfarne Gospels
My first three-stage reduction linocut! Just the final black layer to go. There are a couple of areas I don't like on this but overall I'm pretty happy with it.
Hand-mixed oil-based inks on 210gsm smooth Norfolk paper.

I started this today, and if I am a good girl and stay off the computer, I can finish it tonight. :)
Another AWESOME freebie pattern, courtesy of Badbird.
The start of a new project.
There is a process which is inevitable.
This is:
The sorting of the threads.
The cleaning of the sewing machine.
The winding of the bobbins.
The clearing of the work table.
And finally, the thorough washing of the spectacles!
A very rare day alone, which I am setting aside for stitching and gardening. More of the former I hope.
The Suffragettes.
This shows two sample brooches made using textile, image transfers, paint, emamelling powder and wire.
once i settled on a basic design for the button i started making different types, to see what geometries work the best. I still haven't made the perfect button but we are narrowing in on something durable, consistent, and easy to construct.
I find it almost impossible to throw away scraps of fabric ( or paper come to that) and so I end up with boxes of the stuff.
These are the offcuts from my Brexit project ( the printed text) which I've free machined on to a background of quilting fleece and then bonded further scraps to the top.
I have no idea where this is going but it feels a better solution than just throwing the individual pieces into a storage box
Part of my new project - a book called "The space between"
As usual, this is getting very complex both in imagery and in structure.
I have decided that some pages will have to be solid, that is without cut through's, as viewing the images from both sides leads to rather too many decisions.
Copious quantities of tea have been required during the designing of these two pages, and I have only shown one view here.
I may change the layout of these pages when I come to assemble the book.
These are only the colors in the first box..I cannot deny that it was very exciting to open all of them!!
The start of a small canvas piece in the Women's Suffrage Series - forced feeding.
I am laying down a base coat here.
The right hand side has been gessoed, painted with acrylic paint and dyes and then overstamped with metallic paints.
On top of this I have bonded a layer of Bondaweb which I have then heated with a heat gun and then sprinkled with chunky embossing powder.
You have to do this a section at a time as you have to sprinkle the powder on a warm surface and then pat it down. When it looks attached to the base, you then zap it with a heat gun which causes the powder to melt.
I have overpainted parts of this with a mixture of metallic paint and lustre powder.

After changing out a bunch of things, I think he's ready for some background glass. I'm still thinking about the bottom of his left ear though...
Mozaique was fascinated by the tree last night! The photo sucks, because I grabbed the closest camera which was my cell phone to make sure I wouldn't miss the shot. Real life scrapbooking! LOL
STROBIST: SB-800 rear right the object, camera flash for slave.
Pardon, I'm really NOT a still lifer: for better works see The King of Lights stream.
Chiedo scusa, non sono uno still lifer: se volete vedere molto di meglio guardatevi lo stream del King of Lights.
