I know, I know, you would think I had nothing important to do. No ironing, no cleaning, no washing, no domestic goddessing. Nope, none of that for me my life is one long round of cloth and play, embroidery and play. Well it is when I can get away with it. Last nights game was called ''let's play with metallic silk tissue''. Two tiny samples trying to figure out the possibilities for withdrawing threads and then adding knots to this amazingly gorgeous cloth. Let me tell you...withdrawing threads from this is neither easy nor quick. That has never stopped me in the past though so it's onwards.
I have had a few mails about the video from the other day. Basically asking more about the silk scrim and saying some close up images of that would be good. Well yes I agree, they would be amazing if I could get good ones. I tried and failed. Not one to give up easily though I have made a short video with my piece of silk scrim and hope that you can see the structure more clearly. I really hope it helps and as I love the sound of my own voice I also chat a little about these pieces from today. Can't shut me up!
