more playing...

I removed more of the image to reveal the fabric underneath. Again using my embellisher and machined into the gold organza. I have then embellished more layers and then hit a block. Not sure what to do next...

Play days...

I it lovely to have the time to play, even better when their is someone to come and play too, thanks Alexis for the company this afternoon, like minds being creative...

So moved my work on a little further, I love my embellisher!!!!

I think this sample is completed, or at least I am going to leave it for a while, I think I need to see it framed to see if it is totally finished. I love the technique I have used. First layering different fabrics, then cutting into it to reveal the different layers. Machine stitched and couched (machine and hand), hand stitched the using the embellisher to add other layers to the top.

new experimentation ideas...

 I wanted to experiment with layering up fabric and then cutting back into it. Starting with 25cm square pieces. This was then stitched into and sections cut out. I have now started to add embellishments and need to keep working on it.

This is a new technique that I want to explore. It is a printed photo on cartridge paper. Again onto layers of fabric and then stitched into with a machine. I have started removing layers again and need to work into this again... to be continued.

lovely bike ride collecting more inspiration

I love these flowers and seed pods. Remind me of the work of Angie Lewin.
