that being snug indoors is so welcome...after a blustery walk in the wind which clears your foggyness and gets the blood singing
that my studio is tranquil again after sharing for C-art with my oh so welcome friends and visitors, but now it's all mine to arrange how I wish, finding all my treasures after they were hidden away...and clearing out the bits and bobs I don't need or love any more ...so much easier when they're all neat in a box than spread out around all my tables...
them to be inspired and tap into their creativity, to get confident with free machining and playing with fabrics...and didn't they do well? 2 beautiful landscapes slowly emerged...
(please
note usually an embroidery foot is used for free machining, but as
neither had one they carefully stitched without a foot at all, obviously
you must keep your fingers out of the way! also this doesn't go well with thicker
fabrics, so they then used normal stitching witha foot on)
and it was a beautfully sunny day too with wonderful views over the fields and hills outside and inside a lovely view of art in the making!
first choose your fabrics, cut and lay out, pin then stitch...
hills and fields awaiting definition and detail...wait and see!
I do love a creative mess...fabrics, threads, books, samples, ideas, scraps...getting out the boxes of fabrics instantly brings life to the studio...making it a working space once more...
after a day's hard work here are Jennie and Sue's beautiful textile landscapes... sorry don't think my photo gets the lovely dark blue shades of the velvet here so well, must be the moonlight!
hope you have a wonderful weekend!
