New wind direction


The wind changes direction and suddenly there is a whole new scene, the old familiar things disappear or are transformed and new possibilities open up!
On a personal note I decided it was time to get some "work in progress" now that we are forced to spend a bit more time in the house due to the weather. I used my new flexible tripod -



- and had it clinging to a chair back to take these pics of wip -

- layers of voile on vilene with fused shapes covered with foil, zapped, then some machine sewing ...





a transferred altered image with stitching ...

and finally this photo of a flower which became this -
and then this - transferred to fabric and stitched

Time for a cuppa now! Enjoy the snow if you have any!

  2. Ooh Julia, gorgoeus! Do you give lessons?! Wonderful effects and just the right amount of stitch. I like all three pieces but especially the second one.

  3. Hi Julia, you have been busy, love your work particularly the agapanthus transfer on the fabric. I have been forced to stay indoors due to the heat here, 43deg. today, uggh, but the only thing i have managed to do is clean out some cupboards and the pantry, not half as exciting.

    Best wishes for a creative 2010

  4. Claire, thank you for your comment - can't find an email address for you. I knew somebody would know what the flower is called! Be blessed!
