Been stretching tea-stained watercolor paper over wood framing.

The large one is 16"x20" and the small one is 11"x14"

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"

This shows the reverse of the fabric before the spare paper was torn away

These were treated with the crackle medium which didn't work at all. It also left the image very hard and shiny so it was difficult to crumple.

I will have to look for another use for this product.

I found this Mary Tyler Moore fabric at the Dressew and picked it up after thinking about it for a few days. I think I love it now.

Chris McConnell’s current work, being created at Chelsea Flower Garden, includes these butterfly-inspired structures, which are made from recycled steel and will hold hanging baskets.

"delighted cow"

drawing under the golden light of a lace lampshade.

Definitely a work in progress, seeing as I have no idea what to do next!

WIP - experiment in making a corsage from scraps of furoshiki fabric - needs a button or something in the middle and a ribbon or pin on the back so it can be fixed to a furoshiki bag

#workinprogress

I am leading a workshop called "The Book Artist as an explorer" and as a result I have discovered some treasures which have been hidden from view for a while.

I am now inspired to carry on with some work which has been left unfinished for some time

I finally got back to this quilt I've been making for Clark, buckled down and did the main piecing of it. This has been a total bear of a no pattern quilt in that there are variable lengths and widths--all to incorporate the different sized fussy cut robots. I can't believe it actually looks pretty much like I wanted it to.

Needs more polishing

making paper towel jewelry for a swap.

I realise it doesn't look much yet, but it marks the beginning of a much larger mosaic project :-)

some folks in my sculpture class brought in models with some dubious tape usage. so my teacher gave us an assignment to use tape as the material. duct tape specifically. this is my work in progress.

I wanted to get in Alex's beaut artwork quartet - done especially for :

A page made out of hand made paper, and hand dyed fabric.

These have been part bleached and have overpainted details.

I hope to illustrate the creative and life cycle with these drawings.

Mixed media

Recycle those bread ties. :o)

An exciting time if it wasn't for the fact that I'm right up against a deadline.

The provisional title is "Rights granted to women by men"

okay, i know it's not that impressive right now,

but i paint in layers. this is just the first part. really. i promise it will be better.

work in progress

Eugenia uniflora Surinam Cherry.

I say mostly because I'm going to add a border to it, but the blocks have been all sewn together. I'm delighted with the layout and the overall look and blending of all the pastels and jewel like colors and the beautiful pictures in the centers of the blocks.

Slightly better pics.
