Close up.

Here are a few more pictures of my work from West Deane practising with my macro lens this time.

The next sample seems to have lots of potential for a fabric tunnel book.

I received my sketchbook and textile piece back from Sue Bleiweiss today. The book is due out in April and at some stage will be available for preorder on Amazon; how exciting is that! You will, I am sure, hear more about this. It is kind of strange to get it back and to think of it over in America, being photographed etc... Hard to explain, it’s like it had another life I know little about. I suppose its something to do with what you create being part of you. I had a similar feeling when I sold something in an exhibition and never met the person who bought it.

Birthday and Summer Event.

As a Gemini I have just had a birthday, and a new camera. I had become so used to the ‘old’ one that it is taking some getting used to; there is a lot to learn. Here are some pictures of a few of the textiles in my home.

I have two pieces of Kuba cloth which is made of cut pile  raffia. The marks above represent paw prints.The one piece was such a bargain from a Sunday market in New York. I wished I could have bought many more. The Indian bead work is part of a small cushion which one of my sons bought me for Christmas a few years ago.

If you live anywhere near do come and say hello at this Summer Event where I shall have a stall. It is bound to be a beautiful sunny day as I have opted for a stall inside. I have given up on summer fetes etc. having experienced dust storms, rain and worse! Thinking about it what could be worse when you are trying to sell textiles.
