I like to find a new, to me, patch and try to fit it all together. Triangles, curved seams etc.. It is just something nice to pick up when the creative spirit is a bit low. You may notice that this trendy clash relies heavily on beautiful Waxed Fabrics sourced by my Ghanaian daughter-in-law She has been making some lovely bags, far more professional than mine, and is now starting to sell the fabrics she sources from Ghana.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Her website is <span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://www.ahuofefabrics.com/">https://www.ahuofefabrics.com/</a> .</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">AHUOFE means beautiful in Ghanaian, which the fabrics are , not only in the bright colours and patterns, but also the lovely sheen and feel of the waxed material.

How difficult at times to keep hold of the creative urge, to find the excitement. Sometimes it did come and I am thankful for it. After a cancelled Christmas it seems harder today but hopefully 2021 will bring better news.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I started the year with making an edition of 10 prints for the International Print Exchange. It proved to be quite a challenge, but was worth it when completed and I received 10 prints from a variety of countries, including Japan.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I had a few months of bag making spurred on by my daughter-in-law, who quickly overtook me, and the gift of some lovely material from Ghana. Related to this project I started procion dyeing fabric once more; certainly not something I ever thought to do again. I started making small stamps and used these both on the dyed fabric and linen. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I took an online course in Collagraphy, and did lots of Skillshare classes. I found that improv quilting was a good way of losing myself on a 'bad' day and did quite a lot of it. I have lots of small joined pieces ready to be worked on again. My sewing machine is a project for the new year, as I intend to get it properly serviced. I think it deserves it, having been a good friend over many years.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">At random someone approached me on Instagram and bought two textile pieces. This gave me ideas of grandeur and I opened a Folksy Shop ( now closed). I stencilled with Pick Pretty Paints bought with the proceeds. Most recently I did a 10 week drawing course online with City Lit. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When I look back over the year I have tried so many different creative outlets, of which these just scrape the surface. Here are a few random pictures of some of the outcomes. I wish you all the best for the coming year.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7irHf6MlPudZPZIUamOCwh1HxBN-VWT4MJpaubftjDFK5fv_YhD549Kkx2ugM2nTl7S13Xp6ky7NicuFuC-QcnOX6OZadcdGBY_jFiIKtZDoJTQ8vbjwwegeh4QsZXwTJYlpG/s2048/pegboard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Well, I never realised that pegboard had become so
trendy. There are numerous YouTube videos of how people make and use their
pegboard from craft rooms to garages. I remember talking my father into having
some in my bedroom as a teenager; he even made the hooks for me. We were about
to dispose of two bunk beds when I noticed that the plywood bases would be
ideal as pegboard; they were already drilled, I would not have had the patience
to do that, though some people do. I notice it is usually the boyfriend who
does the drilling.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

to the wall. The mixed pack of hooks was really inexpensive. I cut some dowel
and glued buttons to the ends, but he who knows better said they would not be
strong enough, so we also got metal hooks.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I took an image from the front of a sketchbook into Photoshop and then printed it out in black and white onto TAP. Fortunately I have some Artists' Transfer Paper put aside, as I understand that it is now out of production. What a shame that is, if anyone knows of a good replacement I would be pleased to know about it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I patched and pieced a background and then transferred the images. Silly me as I have just had a big tidy up and given away lots of scraps of dyed and printed fabric.</span><br />

I previously put this image of a linocut , now called Angel Boy, on the blog when I was talking about how great the Xcut is for printing. Here it is as a digital image. Fun to see it on a range of products.jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12399291168901237105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22460541.post-78435302535441583022017-05-27T16:54:00.000+01:002017-05-27T16:54:29.940+01:00Lino cut and the Xcut<div class="MsoNormal">
I am still enjoying using the Xcut, and if you have ever
wanted to do some printing but been put off by the price of expensive presses I
would highly recommend it. ‘Handprinted’ in the UK is the place to go for an
extended bed and felt blanket. On Facebook there is a group especially for the
Xcut and there is also Lino cut Friends, where you can see some professional
prints and get lots of tips and advice. I am using my dremel to make some marks
and I am sure it has more potential for this.<o:p></o:p></div>

I went to a workshop at our local museum which was linked to
an exhibition of paintings from Southampton Museum called ‘The Romantic Thread’. Asked to come up with an image after a tour
of the paintings and a talk, I decided on a contemporary angel. This was
thought to be a creative idea but lacking in execution. I agree and when I took it into lino cut I didn’t like the facial expression; I may redo that. The
prints are my first try at mono-print with linocut.<o:p></o:p></div>

So it goes on, endless fun at the moment, made easier by clean up using baby wipes, less ink and Reeves Tear-off Palettes. Caligo Safe Wash ink cleans up easily, but you do need to get into a routine,unless you want a very messy bathroom.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have continued to enjoy using the Xcut and improving my
knowledge of linocut. ‘Lino-cut Friends’ on Facebook is a good source of
information and inspiration; of course the Xcut now has its own group. What
have I learned in my experiments? I like using the green Japanese vinyl, which
I find much easier to cut than traditional lino or easy cut. I don’t like the
tins of Calico Safe Wash, which seem to develop a skin almost immediately;
beware if you buy the larger amounts as it comes in a tin rather than the tube.
I had a go at masking part of an image which was quite successful. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> After watching a video on mono print and
linocut on You Tube, I intend to experiment much more with that approach. The
artist I watched is Favianna Rodriguez, who gives a very generous insight into
her process. I found a sketch book image and adapted that, with plenty of white space to show the mono-print through.I have bought two small rollers which I think will help. I also made some marks with my dremel, which has potential for more trials.</span></div>

I have bought some new Calico Safe Wash inks and I only had a tin of black left from a long time ago and it had formed a skin (this is apparently a well known hazard). I have used Soft Cut and now some Japanese Vinyl, which I like.<br />

I think I came across <a href="https://www.annieday.com.au/xpress">this link</a> to Annie Day's printing blog on pinterest; like many I quickly became obsessed with getting one of these little machines, the Xpress Xcut. It's intended use is for cutting out shapes and embossing for paper crafts, a mystery to me, but low and behold it can be used as a poor man's printing press.I have tried it with a lino block I had and with a speedy cut block. It worked straight away. I have used water based block printing ink and added a piece of felt.</div>

My prints are a bit rough but on line you can see some print artists who have had excellent results. It is so much easier than rubbing with a spoon or a barren. I got mine from The Range, which delivered quickly; initially I ordered from the cheapest firm on line but they came back to say out of stock.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A small section of my desk, in fact my sewing machine table, currently filled with lots of beach finds and my current interest in weaving. I am taking the on line 'Weaving on Small Looms' course with <span style="color: orange;">Rebecca</span> <span style="color: orange;">Mezoff.</span> I just fell for the small hokett loom without even knowing there were such things as dents and wpi.. If you know nothing about tapestry weaving I can assure you it is much more difficult than it looks; if you have experience you will already know that there is a great deal to learn. I have put a link in the side bar to the course and I would highly recommend reading Rebecca's blog, about her current hiking experiences in an area of petrified forest. She is using her weaving as a kind of sketchbook, noting the colours and rock formations.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Here is my first small tapestry,perhaps, like ones own naughty child, only I will love it, but I do. It was hard work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a couple of books recommendations for you. I bought <span style="color: #9fc5e8;">'The essential Guide to Beach combing and the Strand line' </span>after attending a talk by the authors Steve Trewhella and Julie Hatcher, who are both based in Dorset.

This is an exhibition of a range of work linked by the theme of 'natural forms' which will be shown at <b>L'Artishe Gallery,71 High Street, Swanage,Dorset</b> over the next two month. I spend a good deal of time in Swanage now and have three of my needle felted pieces on the Change theme in the exhibition. We will not be there until the end of November so I shall miss the opening event. I hope you will support the gallery if you are lucky enough to be anywhere near the area.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The year is passing very quickly, I started tidying my craft
room this time last year but due to my wrist fracture did not get very far. I
have started again now and needless to say the more I tidy and look through
things the worse the mess gets. I have, with some heart ache over hours spent,
thrown out most of my City and Guilds notes, my Access sketchbooks and much
else, but I am at the moment hanging on to most of the samples. Although two
assessment pieces have gone. I heard the other day that someone was told after
Art School to throw out all the work he had done; that is not altogether a bad
idea, although when I look at some of my samples I marvel at the patience I had
at the time.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Coming up to autumn now, I am looking forward to going down
to Dorset again soon, starting in September and then, hopefully, regularly
through the Autumn/Winter months. Not least because I followed a class on Creative
bug which is gives clear instructions for crochet over stones.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"> This helped to
revise my very rusty crochet knowledge, but unfortunately I have no stones of
the right sort of size so I need to get back to beach combing. I dug through my
limited collection of hooks, mostly inherited, and my not so limited store of
thread to come up with the basics, but no stones!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Firstly a short book review:<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;">‘</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: cyan;">I Can Make’ My Own Accessories</span>, this is a book aimed at
encouraging young people to start crafting/sewing; it is aimed at ages from 7
plus. For some parents it may be a great holiday project and for grandparents
may prove an interesting way to start sharing ones interest in stitch. No expensive
fabric or equipment is necessary. My stitching began when a friend’s
mother used to put out a scrap bag of fabric and encourage us at seven to play tailors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I particularly like the way it is presented with pretty
colours but also a nice chunky cardboard cover. At the end of the book some
useful basic sewing tips are included; I know from experience that one should
not take for granted that even a teenager knows how to thread a needle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once the basic projects are completed there is encouragement
to go on and use the techniques which have been learned to design unique
accessories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The book which is published by Thames and Hudson will be
published on 11th August 2016.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

I have continued with a little painting mostly at a weekly club and also<br />
some Skill Share classes. I am now an Instagram addict and don't know how I managed without my daily fix. I would like to be able to emulate some of<br />
the modern calligraphy examples I follow, especially combined with watercolour<br />
backgrounds, but I can't say I have cracked that skill yet!<br />

plenty of time to look through my collection of sea glass, pottery, etc. I am
still slightly in awe of the dremel and hate to think of someone using it on my
teeth, it apparently being the dentists’ tool of choice. I keep working on
getting used to drilling sea glass because I so like the result which will
enable me to plan the piece of jewellery.</span></div>

June already, some good progress with my wrist, I can do
most things for a short time but still not able to drive which is frustrating.
Did I tell you that my son bought me a Dremel to encourage me to look ahead to
times when I could do more hand work. I have become rather obsessed with beach combing,
which I have always enjoyed but now has a purpose as I collect sea glass and
beach pottery. I am so jealous of some of the wonderful coloured finds which
people collect all over the world but get a thrill from each little piece I find
when down in Dorset.<o:p></o:p><br />

‘Skill Share’ which I am sure I mentioned previously has
been a life saver, especially when I was more able to hold the camera and use
the keyboard. I have followed a variety of courses, particularly pattern making
on the computer, really difficult, even recently a block printing one. I made a
roll for my watercolour brushes. I am have no real knowledge of how to paint
and no real skill, but in some ways it is liberating to go to a class and now a
club, and just mess about. It’s a new stage. I have no ambition; I'm just doing
and enjoying the company.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Just a quick catch up, April already: after taking a pause
from blogging I was ironically forced to stand back from most of my creative
endeavours as I fell and badly fractured my left wrist. I am out of the cast
now and starting to get some limited use back from my still swollen and stiff
wrist. Thank goodness for Skill Share which has enabled me to follow a number
of interesting courses and keep my spirits reasonably good.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> It proved
frustrating at times as there are certain computer functions which require the
use of both hands; still every little improvement is welcomed.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> A positive is that this enforced ‘time out’ has made
me recognise how important creative activity is to me and I think in time it
will renew my enthusiasm. One of my sons has given me a dremel as a challenge
for the future and I have been collecting beech finds in Swanage.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I was so
happy when I could use my camera again (wearing a splint) and I have enjoyed
the challenge of manual settings. I have also joined Instagram and posted a few
photos over there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I always feel disappointed when I go to look at someone’s work on a blog and I find that they seemed to have disappeared over a year ago with no message, I wonder for their health etc. knowing really that they are probably just busy with other things or simply bored. That is why I wanted to tell any of you reading this that there will now be a ‘hiatus’ on this blog until I get back into the spirit or just can’t resist taking up the digital pen again.</span><br />
