Living to work - Working to live: Using PVA as a resist
http://livingtowork-workingtolive.blogspot.com/2012/04/using-pva-as-resist.html
Living to work - Working to live. Gallery 1 - Textile Pieces. Tuesday, 17 April 2012. Using PVA as a resist. PVA Resist is a technique that I guess is best described as batik without the wax. Again, I found the technique described in Sew Wild, the book Daughter had bought me for my birthday. Of course the flip side to this is that I had to leave the fabric to dry over night! The wax dries almost instantly). Then when it had dried I applied Dy Na Flow paints liberally with a soft brush. On this sample you...

So I chose some spring colours for the second chapter of the cowl. It is knitted in round. Will be a very snuggly cowl. Tuesday, 24 February 2015. Do you remember ...

Honeysuckle Studio: Tales from the Hills - Spinning and Weaving
http://honeysucklestudio.blogspot.com/2015/08/tales-from-hills-spinning-and-weaving.html
Tuesday, 18 August 2015. Tales from the Hills - Spinning and Weaving. Waking up in the morning to a view like this, wish this was everyday of my life. Watching the clouds over the hills, it was all so beautiful during our stay at the 'Zahir Resort' (sister's resort in Himachal Pradesh, India). Olivia loved walking around in the forests close to the resort. And Little Emily couldn't stop feeding the baby Angora rabbit. We went tracking up and down the hills, walked in the villages. I sat down to see how i...

Living to work - Working to live. Gallery 1 - Textile Pieces. Thursday, 6 August 2015. The meaning of Arches. I was round at Rob and Andys the other day ( they of the incredible shed. Just chatting over a coffee and generally catching up, when Rob pointed out that I used arches a lot in my work. And it's true, I do. Here is the latest 'Alzahara reimagined' piece. There are now 3 of these. So he was straight onto Google looking up the Symbolism of Arches. There's a lot to get my teeth into there! Arches a...

Chat from a girl in her crafty caravan Agatha. Wednesday, 15 April 2015. It started with a. Post on Instagram by the lovely @bodkincreates, aka Hesta who makes lots and lots of different bits way down south in Sidmouth. Hesta posted a picture of one of her beautiful crochet nests, and I was smitten. She runs workshops to make them, but as she is so far away from me, there was no chance that I could attend one so I asked her if she sells them. A hesitant reply came, and it was a sort of maybe! Having not ...

Living to work - Working to live: Decorating background papers - ideas for you to try
http://livingtowork-workingtolive.blogspot.com/2015/07/decorating-background-papers-ideas-for.html
Living to work - Working to live. Gallery 1 - Textile Pieces. Monday, 13 July 2015. Decorating background papers - ideas for you to try. I haven't shared a video for a while, but I think that's mostly because my own web wanderings have been a bit curtailed of late. It's been rather busy here, what with one thing and another. But, dear reader, panic not for normal service is being resumed. And Lin and Leandra of Paper Artsy. And while we're on the subjects of backgrounds, you might find this one useful too.

Crafting Not Cleaning!: June 2015
http://craftingnotcleaning.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Chat from a girl in her crafty caravan Agatha. Friday, 26 June 2015. The week before last I had a very exciting parcel from little red tarot. I had a few recommendations to peruse whilst deciding - youtube is great for this purpose as there are lots of tarot reviews online which is nice because you get to see the cards themselves before splashing the cash. I debated between the following sets:. These are all gorgeous sets and I liked each of them, but I didn't. Inside the lid of the box it says. Never wa...
