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.

I don't asked Janet but hope she's ok !!
There's no sticker on the frame. Letters are resurfacing (Sablage) on polish aluminium.
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.
Really the second picture in my army blog set - this is the first *official* photo for my army blog. This will be the "Emperor's Champion" model for my 750 point Black Templar army.
My goal is to use only existing GW pieces off of the sprue with no conversion, no sculpting and no plasticard additions. I really want to see what the GW plastic models are capable of... and so far I'm pretty happy with the results.
I'm waiting on a bits order to get the BT bolt pistol for his right hand. I will use one of the BT shoulders on that side and, of course, more decorative bits. So far he's up to 11 purity/crusade seals -- and I found a BT backpack topper in my bits box.
Of course I'm so happy with this piece that I will probably make a new body for my magnetic commander. If he's going to be the centerpiece of my army I figure he ought to be at least half as bad ass as this guy.
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.
Work in progress for contemporary embroidery /installation piece for MAK9 Draw on the Walls, Derry-Londonderry Sept 2013. Site: Deanery Basement
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...
