This house is covered in pink gingham at the moment, threads, scraps and bigger, embroidered and titivated pieces. Silk too and sequins and bullion loops. Things are coming together in class and tomorrow I will share some images of that, share some images of my pink gingham and silk all damp stretched and wonderful.
Today though, ''artist books'', ledgers, sketchbooks, exploratory sampling, ideas for embroidery......I am trying to refresh, educate myself, regroup, be inspired, all for the next big adventure which is 12 months in which to build a collection of artist books for myself, for reference, for future embroidered works and also just for the sheer pleasure.
I visited the ''Festival of Quilts'' this week and bought some beautiful cloth, a ''silk mix'' which I am desperate to sample with and create another page. That will happen later today hopefully.
(I bought much more than that, later next week I will take photographs and show you)
If you want to join me on my 12 month ''artist book'' adventure you can read more here.
Have a wonderful Saturday x
