making new work

I have spent a lovely weekend combining stitch, collage, paint and textile in some new work that feels quite exciting.

Still very much works in progress - here they are drying in the studio.

 End of stage 1.

running to catch up

I have fallen sadly behind on my blogging. Instagram is swifter and needs less consideration - there is after all no narrative - just a photo and, perhaps, a label.

I had several blog posts in mind:

• more paper making

• indigo dyeing 

• shibori

• seeing some wonderful things at the Blue exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria

and making unexpected progress on some languishing Works in Progress by striking out in a new direction

 I see I need some photos of some outputs as well as process! Which is another blog post...
