Blue is my favourite colour: January 2008
http://lesleyv.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Blue is my favourite colour. Tuesday, 29 January 2008. Sugar and vinegar mixture. In the C&G Yahoo group we have been discussing ideas how to create textures, and I happened to mention something we did on our C&G course which was to mix sugar with vinegar to make a really thick paste. I then made marks in it with a fork - bit like the mashed potato on the top of shepherds pie - and left it to dry until it hardened. Other textures on the board were created from:. Tissue paper scrunched up. What I particul...

Blue is my favourite colour: No stitching!
http://lesleyv.blogspot.com/2008/03/no-stitching.html
Blue is my favourite colour. Saturday, 8 March 2008. Hubs and I have booked ourselves onto a weekend printmaking course in Suffolk in April, which includes collagraphs, so will post some pics of that in due course. This should be quite a relaxing weekend too as we don't have to take anything with us as everything is provided. Have missed you Lesley! Although I liked your last idea and that is still waiting for me to try! Marmalade is still put aside for you. 9 March 2008 at 05:48. Keeping Me in Stitches.

Blue is my favourite colour: August 2007
http://lesleyv.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Blue is my favourite colour. Tuesday, 28 August 2007. Back to the drawing board, or should I say sewing machine:. My attempt to recreate a vessel inspired by Janet Edmunds book Three Dimensional Embroidery has failed miserably. Having taken out all the gathering stitches, there are some nice ripples in the fabric still,. Which I might do something with, but not sure what yet. It is probably one of those pieces that will stay hanging around for a while until inspiration strikes again. I collected my first...

Blue is my favourite colour: A day out at Kew Gardens
http://lesleyv.blogspot.com/2008/03/day-out-at-kew-gardens.html
Blue is my favourite colour. Wednesday, 19 March 2008. A day out at Kew Gardens. Not having planned on blogging for a while, I had such a great day on Saturday, visiting the largest ever exhibition of Henry Moore sculptures at Kew Gardens. Http:/ www.kew.org/henry-moore/. That I thought I would share some photos. The different textures are fascinating. Some are so smooth from being stroked over the years. Each time they are exhibited they are cleaned and given a new coat of beeswax. 21 March 2008 at 01:58.

Blue is my favourite colour: Sweet Sisters - Round Robin
http://lesleyv.blogspot.com/2011/06/sweet-sisters-round-robin.html
Blue is my favourite colour. Tuesday, 21 June 2011. Sweet Sisters - Round Robin. Here are some pictures of the fabric book I have created for the Sweet Sisters Round Robin. I have chosen the theme Flowers. The cover is made from Sinemay and I used strips of fabric to embroider the flower. (I have no idea how to turn this photo round in Blogger - sorry! I backed it with some old shirt fabric, used. Fast2Fuse Interfacing and chose a pink dyed cotton fabric for the inside. 22 June 2011 at 01:10. Im looking ...

Blue is my favourite colour: Books, gravestones, and morning tea
http://lesleyv.blogspot.com/2008/01/books-gravestones-and-morning-tea.html
Blue is my favourite colour. Sunday, 20 January 2008. Books, gravestones, and morning tea. Following on with my gravestone shapes, here is my first little book. What I particularly like about this method is that it is using materials most of us have anyway. There is no buying any specialised paper or liquid. A little while ago Gina nominated my blog for a You Make my Day Award. (Despite several attempts blogger won't let me add the picture of the award). The rules are that I have to. I am thrilled you ha...

Blue is my favourite colour: Bags and terracotta soldiers
http://lesleyv.blogspot.com/2008/02/bags-and-terracotta-soldiers.html
Blue is my favourite colour. Monday, 4 February 2008. Bags and terracotta soldiers. I bought myself this bag last week from Paperchase. But in order to stop my daughter pinching it, I had to make her this! Actually, I thoroughly enjoyed making it as it was a great diversion from an exhausting day starting my new course. Last week Hubs and I had tickets to see the Terracotta Army exhibition at the British Museum . These horses were excavated from the first pit in 1977. 4 February 2008 at 11:43. Your littl...

Blue is my favourite colour: December 2007
http://lesleyv.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Blue is my favourite colour. Monday, 31 December 2007. Boo,Winston and Arnie were last seen heading off to their respective homes on Christmas Eve. They didn't look very happy at the thought of being parted. Then I mixed up lots of transfer dyes and painted and printed several sheets of paper. I have a specific project in mind for these, but more of that at a later date. I also made a photo album with the goodies I had purchased recently from Falkiners Fine Papers in Southhampton Row. Busy, busy, busy!
