Today I can show you the rest of my dyeing results. Here is the blue-green gradation, which will be fine for my next piece. The brown gradation didn’t come out nearly dark enough. I shall have a go at overdyeing at least the two darker ones and some other bits of red-brown fabric that I have. [...] I’m back and I’ve had quite a productive weekend. The first thing I got going on was my least favourite activity on the C&G course – sampling. I was a good girl though and sampled 3 construction techniques for the piecing of my next assessment piece, although only one was new to me! I used [...] I am about to start making my fourth assessment piece for C&G. It has to be a wall hanging inspired by the natural world. As I said in my last post I didn’t want to do anything too realistic, rather something more abstract. I also decided that I didn’t want to do any more appliqué [...] I’m back to working on my C&G coursework now. The next assessment piece is to be a household item and the design is to be inspired by a landscape theme. I’ve decided to make a tea cosy. Our kitchen colour scheme is white and grey with blue – a blue kettle, a blue pepper mill, [...] Having made my one dolly I got quite interested in the idea of making more. I’m a bit of a collector/gatherer of ideas and not one of those who can work in a series for years on end perfecting one theme. So of course I started looking for more information on doll making. My C&G [...] The gallery is back as a link from the main menu. It’s made using NextGEN, which is a Plugin for WordPress. I think it looks much better than the old one and has some neat little features too. Try using the PicLens viewer. I like the way the photos are presented there. No puede explicar en español que tipo de proyectos se pueden utilizar los pies que he adquirido. Lo siento! And for the rest of my readers – these pages may be of interest too. For the cording foot try this one. For the tailor tack foot or fringing foot [...] I stumbled upon this blog as I was googling for images – one of my favourite research techniques. Julie Duell is extremely generous in sharing her knowledge about many different painting techniques and other art related subjects. I have read quite a few of her topics and found them all very informative. I’m not the [...] I have been playing with paint and discharge paste on quilted surfaces. It has been quite fun and gave me a reason to practise my machine quilting. I made four small samples of about 8 inches square and did some fairly dense machine quilting, practising breathing at the same time. It’s true what they [...] Today I made a couple of small samples showing two different decorative edge treatments. I used 2 4 inch blocks that I had left over from another project. The beaded edge is made by attaching the binding to the back of the quilt and then hand sewing down onto the front. A seed bead is [...] |
