I’m working on my next challenge piece for Use Your Eyes. The theme is shadows. It didn’t take me long to choose an image to use. It was a photo I took as part of my C&Gs course. It was for an activity to do with the principles of design. I chose this photo to illustrate [...] I thought I had the quilt top for my final assessment piece finished. I had sewn all the spirals together and filled in the hole with the black circle. It was all pressed and ready to be admired on the design wall, but my eyes kept sliding off the black focal point to an annoying dark [...] 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 [...] 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 my [...] 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, a [...] 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 tutor [...] 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 [...] 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 as [...] 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 only [...] |
