Despite yesterdays colourful cloth white remains. I am still working on my festooned cloth/veil which I started during the extending embellishment class that has just ended. Today there are new bumpy bits....circles of lace embellished with bullion knots and buttonhole edging. There is still a lot of work to do on this, it grows only slowly. I haven't made a final decision yet on whether this will be backed and if it is to be backed what I will use for that. I am drawn to silk net....but that could be cost prohibitive.
This morning I have been putting the final touches to our class blog for Ledgers which starts next week. Obviously I am going to be working on paper a lot in the coming weeks but I also aim to continue with this piece. If you are signed up for Ledgers then you should get mail from me tomorrow. Later this week I will create a short video about this veil/cloth/white piece in order that you see it more clearly, the lightness and fragility of it. Then...if I am organised enough..(knowing me I would advise not holding your breath!) I hope to show you a short, short video of me practicing drawing and such like. Believe me...I need practice.
Finally...there is a little confusion for non British people as to what Blackpool Rock is. Sorry about that...I should have known that not everyone in the world has eaten their way through tons of the stuff!! To clarify...click here.
