Making time to be creative. Looking at past projects especially "Waves" by Alexandra Waylett. I am using techniques from that project to see if I can replicate the details in my card. I like what is happening but think a completely different technique, fabrics and tools are needed. Pictured below are work in progress. Looking forward to the long weekend to see what develops.💐

When you have a head cold and take the day off. Sitting still, weaving and drawing helps you to some how breath better. I have had an idea in my head for a new piece of work inspired by a card Alan bought me. Watch this space to see sample workings out.

My WIP for Textiles East this year. Exhibiting with Stitch wild at the new venue in Newmarket. Picture taken from my photos of a trip to India in 2019. A mixed media piece, Acrylic paint on canvas with lattice work hand stitched. I am making a stitch book alongside, as I am teaching myself lattice work. I am encouraged to exhibit even if its not finished. Looking forward to being at the new venue, hope to see you there. 21st & 22nd February.

Sunday afternoon makes, a Giant fabric Christmas cracker.
10" body with pelmit violine to give it extra structure. Interfaced fabric ends, all connected by velcro.
I wanted a new Christmas keepsake, something to put a little stocking filler gift in. There is still space to fit a fabric hat (next on the list to make)
This is just a practice piece, they always turn out the best and I've used scrap fabric, so I'm unable to make more like this one. However I have a big box of Christmas fabric, so now to make 6 for the dinner table. Wish me luck.
