Sorry I've Not Posted In A Wee While

Hi There. Sorry I have not posted for a wee while its been a little hectic and busy! I very much hope you are all well and have had a good few weeks. Yellow tulips! Pretty.

I thought I would show you some of my initial ideas in developing my designs for my weave, taking inspiration from, 'The Deep Aquarium featured in my last posting. I have been looking at layering through block shapes.

Here I have used plaster strips to create the layers of blocks. I have overlapped them randomly and then decorated them with a combination of white emulsion, procion dye and gouache paint.

I have created all my initial sample testers on cartridge paper. Sorry about the lack of detail in the photographs, there was very little natural light at the time of taking them.

Here again I was looking at layering. The above is the top layer of windows over a machine stitched textured paper.

The bottom layer.

More cut out work and layering.

And there is more.

And even more.

I'm must admit there is a lot of work to do. Nothing that I have experimented with has created that spark to think which direction to take the final piece in. I'm going to look at reverse applique and resist felting next.

It maybe a little time until I can post again.

So please stay safe and well.

Hugs. xx
