I have now stitched two sheets of Polish newspaper in a random grid pattern. After stitching I rubbed the paper for a while to shrink it and to break down the surface. This means that it will accept paint more readily.
getting ready to tie in another thread & work the 4th pass, then the beaded band will be rolled together and woven into a round rope
some beads for another project have started sneaking onto my work tray (pretty pink porcelain donut)
BUT now i'm going to crochet, I think I will finish my green scarf today. I don't feel any real urgency to finish this beadwork, just enjoying the process, very zen.

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.
possible submission to Lucy May Schofield's BABL project; another book in the she said/I said series
Preparing the canvas - at last. Months of research have led up to this moment. I'm almost scared to start
New castings from my workshop in silver - for ear cuffs, cuff links, rings and brooches. Finally, 'Stiffy' the wee prototype skeleton was finished, a mould made of and 'sons' were cast. He is the darkest skeleton on the right: The silver blackens slightly when a vulkanised rubber mould is made, due to the heat involved.
I started on Amber a week ago and just picked her back up. You can see where I've already ripped out part of her head and am starting over. As always, the dark colors aren't photographing very well.
I've been working steadily on my next exhibition piece which is entitled "Brexit - the first lie"
The background fabric is a piece of distressed black denim and I'm adding slits to this to denote the cracks in society caused by the result of the referendum.
These slits are backed with fragments of old paper which I machined over, coloured and varnished.
They will be eventually "papered over"
I've had an utterly unproductive day but don't particularly care - Hannah back at school, Emily at a friend's house for the INSET day and Paul in the office meant I had the house to myself for the first time in too long. A bit of admin, a bit of online browsing, tonight some sewing.
Machine embroidery samples on chiffon seem to have a life of their own and never seem to be just where you left them.
One way of ensuring they stay put is to mount them temporarily on to mount board using double sided tape.
Did I get the exposure right on it, no. It was disappointing but not a complete loss. I know the tank worked well, stand development worked (more for the reels I done as well), and the camera is working. So it’s not a loss but a step in the right direction. 😉

mixed media collage works, in acrylic. I have been burning it up lately, and these are stages of works in progress. eventually i want to make time lapse gifs.
I'm about halfway done with Fred's face, working my way to her mouth, one of the hardest areas to get right.
