Phew! have just sent out a hundred+ emails to inform readers that my blog has moved and that I have a new web site.
If you’ve just found me…
Welcome back!
I’ll keep fiddling with those textiles and paints then…….
I’ve had a sick child on and off for a few weeks now. Poor thing has been through a horrible operation (nothing serious thank goodness but very sore).
To keep myself occupied I’ve been doing two things:
1. Indian Art; A History – 10 week online course from Oxford university
(Main developments in the history of South Asian art in this period, including Buddhist and Hindu architecture and sculpture, paintings and architecture from the Rajput and Mughal courts, and the impact of European colonialism. You will also examine the religious, ritual, social and political contexts in which these buildings and objects were made and used.)
I’m on week 6 and loving it.
2. Stitching some collages.
Here is the first of four or maybe five, maybe more in the series….
R1001
They will all be mounted and framed in off white frames ready for sale, this is the best pic I could get when it was framed.
30x40cm framed
I’d be really interested to know - What do you think?
Yesterday I forgot to add a note about the collage I’ve submitted for the art exhibition. I thought long and hard about submitting work I had created in a class. However the work I produced was nothing like the tutors samples and very much my own (yes I am the student that goes off at a tangent and did my own thing with colours and stitching), so I do feel it is my own work – guided by Judy H, as I acknowledged.
I have a piece accepted for the Gymnasium Gallery Open Art Exhibition in Berwick.
The exhibition runs from 23rd October - 11th December, please check their web site for opening times. My collage was created during the Judy Hooworth class I took at Festival of Quilts in August.
You cannot believe how happy and relieved I am to be back exhibiting and working with stitch again.
Oh yes….. and I recently got this to make dreadlocks for my large Goddesses.
A new skill to master.
I have a thing for Rowan fabrics… these came back from the FoQ and will be a(nother) bedspread / throw.
I love playing with the colours. I think I’m also getting ready for hibernation!
Tomorrow I’m heading down to Darlington to give a (new) talk on Goddesses.
First talk I’ve given for about 12 months – now here did I put the hanging display stand????
The sexy bikes
DH’s favourite. I wish I could buy him one for Christmas.
The Horticultural Tent
There has to be jam!
The embroidery entries. Maybe I should enter next year? I used to, I got a First in the art competition a few years ago.
Palm tree pizza – can you see the sun, the beach, palm trees and sandcastle?
