There are five pieces in progress, all evolving as part of pillows and pages....we haven't even started on the pages bit yet! Some are nearer completion than others...I'm dizzy. Having said that I can't wait until they are all finished as I will be surrounded by pillows....heaven....somewhere to lay my head maybe.
There is silk, there is gingham, there is printed cloth, there are bullion knots, stab stitches and chain stitch. There is applique and padding and fabric manipulation....are you keeping up? The raspberry silk may come as a shock to you, it did to me but I love it. It's so vibrant, uplifting. I have used it before...here.... small amounts with guess what? gingham...coincidence or what!
Despite being surrounded by all this unfinished work my next creative few hours are going to be spent with blue and white....I'm spoilt for choice today.
When I was looking for the images of the raspberry silk I spent ages trawling through my flickr photostream....boy do I have a lot of pictures on there, some better than others, some should most likely be deleted they are so bad but then there are others which make me go...''Oh...I forgot about that'' and ''Oh, I really like that, there's an idea.''. You should try it with your own photostream if you have one....a trip down memory lane.
Finally......if I said Alchemy......what would you say?
