I don't asked Janet but hope she's ok !!
There's no sticker on the frame. Letters are resurfacing (Sablage) on polish aluminium.
These are only the colors in the first box..I cannot deny that it was very exciting to open all of them!!
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.
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.
I've added the squares to a glittery background and then backed it with fleece and I will be stitching over the squares to hold them down
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.
I'm working on a new embroidery, it's on a lovely crisp linen tea towel.
It just needs a name, any suggestions?
Blogged 3 June 2010.
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.
I decided to have a bit of fun and make a wacky handbag. This is the first stage.
I went to a scrummy shop in Much Wenlock ( Ippkin... www.ippkin.co.uk) and bought some Colinette yarn ( www.colinette.com) and a shell button in a wonderful deep yellow colour.
I then used a pair of 20 mm needles to losely knit a rectangle, which I will now weave with strips of knotted fabric and other strange things.
Watch this space!
Lots going on in the studio at the moment, none of which is any where near completion.
This shows you my desk this morning where I have decorated scraps of paper and fabric with various art mediums.The piece at the top on the right is one I made using the ideas of Anne Bagby. I collaged various lightweight paper on to a tissue backing and then overprinted and painted this.
These papers and fabric are destined to be chopped up and used in a variety of ways.
My current project. I'm just adding bits as I go along with minimal planning. Something I can do in front of the TV!
overdyed grey and laundered, i put this jacket in the store window and it sold before i could get a picture of it. Look for a beautiful mysterious lady wearing something a little like this, but the color of woven granite.
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.
Preparing the canvas - at last. Months of research have led up to this moment. I'm almost scared to start
A series of thumbnail photos showing the work in progress of "MakaiLynn" done in Conte Crayon and NuPastels
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...
