2010 project, taking control of the boardwalk garden

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"

Computer manipulation of a sketch, printed on to watercolour paper and backed with calico.

Free machine stitched.

This is now ready for painting.

I was initally excited about stitching up this lady. Now I am mad at her. Perhaps it was the changes I made? Maybe I shouldn't have given her cleavage, or changed her head covering into hair? Maybe I need to shut up and just keep stitching until she looks nice.

Recreating the Zelda overworld in microscale.

Underneath all those paper scraps are my angry, stressed-out words.

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.

Alabaster, Spanish Boulder. 30"

A revamp of an old design. The old design only had one koi and it always looked so lonely in its little bit of water. I decided to add a second koi to keep it company. The frog makes an appearance in this one as well along with redesigned lily pads and water lilies.

 

Once complete will measure appx 16 inches diameter.

The day after the Sewing for Pleasure show. My desk.

I bought several exciting items, some of which I used today. I also tidied up my samples and used them to make cards.
