The latest finish sample from my recent explorations, a couple of images taken during the process too.
I know what I am doing next, how that piece will look but I actually don't know what the outcome of all this sampling will be.
I'm just going to keep going until the revelation hits....
I'm still happily playing with my glue stick. (It's only being used on paper.)
The collage on these pieces informs the embroidery and everything else which happens including the woven paper scraps and the fabric covered rings.
As yet nothing is secured on this A3 sheet. I am working on other pieces and will decide on the composition when those are finished.
My play with paper, collage and stitch is continuing.
This is number two. It's far from finished.
I'm not sure number one is finished yet either.
(for reference these are A3 size)
I am enjoying working with this size.
Just playing. A little bit of sticking and a little bit of stitch....
A little simple collage and some doodling.
This work evolved from this post.....
I have plans to take this forward in stitch but I'm not quite there yet.
There is more doodling to do, some with added embroidery, stitched fabrics and more collage.
I know I said yesterday that I would show you my latest paper stitching next time I was here but that is not quite ready yet.
I wasn't intending to post today but I thought I'd share some bits I have been gathering for more paper/cloth/lace compositions.
I hope you're having a lovely Sunday.
Yesterday I spoke about other artist books which were coming together in class. This is one of those or should I say this is a page from one of those. I'm considering this one finished now, complete. I may swap the gold ribbon though, I am thinking about it. I have some 'duck egg' ribbon ordered and when that arrives I will try that there. It's a white ribbon with the slightest hint of blue in it....I think it may live better here than the gold.
There are four other pages which form this book, some of them can be seen here and there are overlays too. It's going to have a beautiful weight to it when all the pages, overlays and layers are joined and placed in the cover.
I've stitched a reverse for the piece with pom poms, this piece. More has been added since yesterday when I took these photos and I'm hoping by tomorrow to have this completely finished. It will look very different by then if all goes to plan.
Then there's this....
Collage in progress, stash building for the ''12 month artist book adventure''.
And.......my first collection for ''studies in stitch'' is coming together. I will show you that later this week.
I love it when something which has been in progress for weeks begins to come together, when all the pieces fit....very satisfying indeed.
I made you a video today....an explanation of what's going on with all the stuff you can see in the images. It's easier to say it than write it.
