Bradford Exhibition

Great news one of my peices of art work has been accepted in Bradford Open 2013. From Sept to Jan 2014 Cartwright Hall will be displaying  my art work.

Frame It

Been very busy, a few exhibitions coming up. Thought I would have my latest pieces framed by http://picturethis-framing.co.uk/. Collected them today, they look really great.

Red Fabric Day

Really enjoyed making my own fabric today. My inspiration was my art work from the Dionne Swift 'Drawing for Textile' course. Starting with a piece of cream wool fabric, I  embellished with merino wool top, creating lines, which developed into more shapes. I added hand stitch and added fabric paper to produce a lovely peice of fabric art.

Rose Leaf Print

Decided to try a little fabric dyeing, so yesterday I soaked a peice of cotton in a dye bath of wind fallen conker shells.  The fabric turned out a shade of orange. Not really happy with fabric so thought I would wrap some rose leaves and rose petals in the fabric and leave it overnight in the dye bath. The result is now drying on the washing line.

Yorkshire Dales

Spectacular views from Wensleydale.

Lines

Being aware of the different lines that are around us.
Observing curve, straight, zig zag lines.
How lines join and patterns emerge.
