I continue to be inspired by the everyday - everyday people and everyday things. I am fascinated by people's stories. I use collage techniques where I layer, patch and piece different materials together with hand stitch. This is the most important part for me - there is something very personal about adding your mark with needle and thread. It is a slow, thoughtful process. The Purple Thread Shed - Ali Ferguson.

The history was fascinating and the workshop gave me an opportunity to try various shibori techniques, get the inside scoop on creating the dye bath and all the details on the dying process. I was able to experiment with some soy wax batik too. Jean Kares is a fantastic instructor, knowledgeable and experienced. With each dip into the dye bath the blue color darkens. I only had time to dip my pieces twice as I wanted to try several techniques and fabrics. Here are some results:. Where did September go!

A Group Gathering: April 2015

http://agroupgathering.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, 25 April 2015. Daphne's Smile: Mandy Pattullo. The box of old diaries uncovered in a flea market by Mandy Pattullo earlier this year, had another gem to offer - this black and white photograph. At last I can reveal MY Daphne. I know the name of the diary writer to be Daphne and the photograph had just Daphne written in pencil on the back so I think it is a fair deduction that she is the diary writer. Doesn't she just look like the sort of girl who would always wear gloves! Tuesday, 21 April 2015.
