New Work.

New work.......always exciting when one jumps off into a completly different direction. Ideas running a muck.......thankgoodness have a few days of solitude to develop this new thought pattern. Starting to incorporate an element of mixed media...torn newspaper.

Looking Back

At times its always an idea to take a step back and take stock of where your journey is going. I find l still have many gaps to fill having a video of my work allows me to adjust my vision.

Gum Leaves

Of course to go with the trees you need leaves. Beginning here to add the element of mixed media, have painted the background fabric and then visoflix paint thread on the top before sewing the leaf in place.

The Next Step........

Decided to develop the theme a little further and developed this piece with 3 trees, unfortunately the tree on the right didnt go the way l had intended. Still need to work on the design a bit more.

Quiet Afternoon.....

Quiet afternoon, the air is so fresh from the recent rain. Finished this little piece, following on with my theme of gum leaves......a gumtree.
Used a piece of Procion dyed fabric as my base fabric them machine embroided the picture.

 

A Weekend Of Sewing

Great start to weekend of sewing, picked a collection of gum leaves for inspiration and prepared the fabric for creating the gum leaves.

All ready to launch into more of my gum leaves series, cannot wait for the weekend to immerse in textiles.
