Hello my Dear Artsy Friends! I am here to report that I have STARTED a new piece of work for the first time in months!!! YAY! I have been down in the cellar dyeing for about a week and am now starting to make my Freezer Paper pattern. I have been busy with the camera and Flickr . I've collected a few photos to show you what I have in mind and what has been keeping me busy otherwise!!
 |
| This is a part of a Calla Lily bloom from a potful I purchased to photograph. This shot has been slightly altered in Lightroom just to give a little more "punch" to the colours. |
 |
| Here are some of the dyed fabrics I have finished , the photos and my pattern in the background. |
 |
| The pattern broken into sections ready to trace onto the Freezer Paper! |
This Blogger programme is giving me the pip tonight!!!!
 |
| These two are pretty similar but here is where I stopped today. I have the original pattern on the lightbox and am tracing it onto the Freezer Paper. |
 |
| These Urchins and the Moon Snail are part of my Atlantic coast hoarde. This photo is a piece of very dry seaweed stem that is a wonderful Baroque , twisted piece of seashore sculpture- and a tiny snail made it his home at one time! |
 |
| I have been doing a LOT of tabletop macro work. |
 |
| We had a major mild spell and our spring flowering Erica came into bloom so I lay on my belly on a plastic tablecloth on the VERY COLD ground with my trusty macro lens! |
 |
| These little Urchins are VERY tiny, only about 5/8" in diameter. |
I am going to post this now to the
needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com and shall keep you posted on the progress of this NEW PROJECT!!! SOOO exciting!! I hope you'll all pop over there to see what everyone is up to. Nice to be back!
