Last time I was here I spoke about my cloth sample books, there was a short video which you can see here if you missed it. In the video I mention how I need more sample books, samples are piling up here so this is the latest one in progress. It measures 28 x 10 inches...there's a lot of embroidery still to do.
When the surface embellishment is complete I may add my samples to the reverse. I say 'may' because I haven't decided for sure whether to add more in terms of strips to the other side of this. The strips would hold the samples before this is rolled. Does it need strips? Probably not but once I get going I don't know when to stop, that's why I haven't decided yet.
A reminder, my new class. A full year of all things embroidery.

This online learning programme is born from the success and popularity of previous 'fly on the wall' classes.
Join me for 12 months of creativity, a unique fly on the wall experience. Observe my process, my day to day, my working practice over a full year. Who knows what will crop up, what will inspire and develop over this programme. We begin with a blank page of time and fill that page, that time developing embroidered works on paper and fabric.
There may be artist books, there may be delicately embroidered laces along with decorative silk surfaces.
There will definitely be buttons, ribbons, sequins, beads and all manner of added titivation.
Posting once every fortnight I will demonstraste my working processes, discuss my ideas and inspirations and develop various piece of work which result from explorations demonstrated in class.
Group interaction will be facilitated within the forum of a private Flickr group where it will be possible to upload images and receive feedback and encouragement from the wider group along with input from me. There will also be the opportunity for wider discussion within the ''discussion'' area of that group. Interaction in this manner is however voluntary. There is no pressure on you to participate within this forum. If you prefer to work quietly, on your own that is encouraged too. My wish is for you to use this learning experience in the manner best suited to you, to learn in a way which makes you happy and furthers your individual creativity.
Please note, certain tasks within this programme require the use of a sewing machine.
Access.... Unlimited. Forever.
