… the mystery post. Here is the complete image of the teaser image posted below. To read the whole story behind this piece please go over to Use Your Eyes and follow the challenge there. Unravelling, 23cm x 30 cm, hand dyed cotton fabric, cotton [...] Of course I did know what I had to do with my free time. I was seriously behind on my Age challenge on Use Your Eyes. When I saw that the end was in sight for my C&Gs piece I had to keep at it. That left me with 3 weeks to produce my [...] I’ve added another gallery with images of Colour Vortex.

Since the sketches were 30 cm square, I decided the easiest was to scale up to a 30 inch square. No complicated maths to do then. [...] At the beginning of November last year I started trying to get a group of people together to work on challenge themes to produce a piece of textile art. On November 14th the website Use Your Eyes was launched thanks to the hard work of my DH Sqeze. The group has had some fluctuation [...] We are holed up here in snow so I have some unexpected time on my hands. But not that much since we spend a good few hours each day shovelling snow away, so that we may be able to get out before next Easter. I had some more feedback from Marie suggesting that maybe [...] |
