Working with mixed media stitched textiles gives me great pleasure. As well as the joy in the art of making and exploring, there are the friendships formed as work grows. Monday, 27 July 2015. Playing with pixels, windows and bridges. I'm going to eastern Scotland and the Orkney Islands soon and I'm going to take print outs of some images that I've generated as a result of the Pixeladies. I recently found myself buying a small selection of threads from Patricia Wood of Mulberry Silks. I'm still trying to...

Side note for those interested in Photoshop Elements:. My six-week class with the Pixeladies.

Art With a Needle: March 2015
http://artwithaneedle.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Sign of the week. Other times it's fun to not have fun? Links to this post. Monday, March 30, 2015. Failed series 1 - slashed and frayed.
