work in progress - 72"x48"

Le centre commercial

42° Sketchcrawl, Lyon-Confluence. Dix dessins réalisés entre 9h30 et 17h. Le premier dans le métro (la durée de toute la ligne!). Le deuxième au lieu de R-V : l'Intermezzo, café italien. Puis la passerelle depuis le sud, l'intérieur du centre commercial à midi. Puis le café à 13h, la passerelle et les cadenas, puis le cube orange, la boutique Joja. Puis terrasse vue sur les balcons décalés. Pour finir, à Perrache l'intérieur des archives municipales. Environ 18 courageux croqueurs présents!

Well, I'd like to think I'm finished with this piece... but there are still a bunch of little things I don't like. Of course the more you dicker with the details the more likely you are to totally screw everything up. So I'm desperately trying to leave this guy alone now.

While looking for Purple Hairstreaks at Browndown near Gosport we came across this Emperor Dragonfly munching on a bee.

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.

Probably something like 13 days worth of painting.

Letters from one of my favorite: www.flickr.com/photos/janetbikegirl/4330745505/in/faves-r...

I don't asked Janet but hope she's ok !!

There's no sticker on the frame. Letters are resurfacing (Sablage) on polish aluminium.

mmm not sure how it'll turn out...

Old progress pics of the last stages of Ingenue before molding.

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.

Finished grinding and placing the flowers, now onto the background.

little viscose elllyfunt

finish it tomorrow maybe?

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.
