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.
Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.
This is the back, again, with the shells just placed to see how they look. The different sections are embroidered in different styles, to reinforce their differences.
Most of these images were treated with acrylic wax and then crumpled and rubbed.
The final image was untreated and then crumpled.
Much later I discovered that if you then turned the image over, the reverse of the paper had become a wonderful, colourful piece, as the ink had bled into the wax.
The only way I remember what this canvas originally looked like - so glad I thought to tuck this note in the back of the canvas.

Mixed media. watercolour paper, newspaper, paint, pen, stitch and masking tape.
I am starting to build up component pieces of myself!
