First of all don't anyone mention Africa. Got it? In the five minutes since I took these photos I have developed a dislike for one piece which looks a lot like a map of that place we can't mention. If anyone else says it I will have a breakdown. Once I'm finished here it will be cut up, changed into something that resembles nowhere on earth.
These are the interrupted samples, the ones I didn't attend to because of unexpected visitors. They're not finished, oh no. First of all I need to figure a way to stop creating maps and then I want to add more, mix them up, swap layers, titivate, all in the name of my new class, Lace, paper, cloth and stitch.
It's been a busy weekend on the home front. My son went to London to watch the boxing at Wembley Stadium. Happiness at an empty house you might think but don't be fooled. Said son is also flying to New York on Wednesday and left his holiday laundry....so it's been washing, ironing, folding. Then ironing again, cloth this time.....for me.....a little sampling, some backing of a pillow, making rouleau loops, the stuffing of a pillow...lots of wonderful cloth related stuff amongst other, less exciting domestic stuff.
Later today I'm going in the Attic. I haven't been up there for ages. I may not come down again.
