It has been a few weeks since I've worked on wood. I'm glad to be back. Here is a sneak peek of what I am working as a submission to the "Lipstick & Rouge" show @ Second Space in Spokane.
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 interesting sample is painted Tyvek, stitched in a grid pattern and then heated with an iron. You are left with..........almost nothing!
Over yesterday and today, I've finished out her muzzle and worked on her right eye- I think i've redone it 3 times to try to get it just right. Not really happy with the nose, it could be it looks to be all black on photographs, I'll have to think about it.
As Ada Lovelace was a mathematician I was searching here to show some symbolism in stitch.
The samples are based on a calculator keyboard and have a base of machine stitching on a felt base.
The top sample is burnt with a soldering iron, the second uses fabric paint, the third had an enamelled symbol heat treated on to it, and the fourth had foil, heat applied to it.

The final stage of my "Anxiety" piece which has dogged me for many months.
The background colour was still a concern so I added a violet dye to the whole which was more pleasing.
