something is happening

   

and I think I know what it is...

I am working on another film.. this is part of it - the morphing years!

watch this space and I shall report back soon

these are getting a little addictive perhaps...

this whole "stitchure" is 50 x 33 cm.

I think maybe I need to move on now from these! 

sunday

Some new pieces Ive been working on whilst having a break from the hard stuff of attempting to animate sewn pieces...  anyhow, here are a couple of works for friends of mine.  I should have my website up and running any day now and will be selling my work there very soon.  In the meantime, if anyone is interested in anything, do please mail me and I shall do my best to oblige :)

 

more stuff

Ive been getting to grips with some sewing - Ive made a couple of bags ( I may use this one at Leon and Amy's wedding, in the evening) plus Ive been playing around (and breaking needles) with sewing into horrid sanitary towels again. What vile things they were.  Anyhow, Im not entirely sure which of these is better, though I suspect this first one might be.

moods and satisfaction

Ive had a couple of days of feeling quite shitty really, nothing has been working out well for me - a disappointing (as always) date on Saturday, hot flushes, itchy ears and - probably the main reason for my low mood - not much sewing as I just seemed to be  having problems with thread, tension, breaking needles, weird looking lines and wibbly wobbly stitching.  I kept giving up and walking away and then going back again to try once more.  I couldnt figure out what was wrong and why the stitching didnt seem to work.  Anyhow, finally, after a cup of tea and some chocolate - yes, Im convinced it was the chocolate that helped me! - I sewed a little piece that didnt get screwed up and that suddenly seemed to work; i.e. no thread breakages, no loose stitches. 

When I went to London l ast week, I did a little bit of drawing on the train and remembered how much I enjoyed it (drawing on trains, that is) . The fat man's wife kept looking at me wondering why I was eyeing up her man but all I was doing was trying to draw him with a view to later sewing him, which is what I did.  And here he is - not a bad representation and maybe next time I will include more detail of the train - windows, seats etc, but this is all I have for now and I quite like it.

So here is to no more problematic and temperamental sewing and hoping for a smooth ride.  haha!  as if!

keep young and beautiful

 
   
 

Im sooooooo enjoying this!
