I don`t know whether you read my last post, but the artist has kindly sent me some images to show her progress. I`m SO excited to blog about this, I can`t believe how AMAZING it looks! To see more of this artists` work you can visit her blog here
Look carefully it took me a while to see the tiny paper boat drifting down the stream…apparently it`s not quite finished, so hopefully i`ll be able to post some pictures of the finished piece.
I`m working on a piece for my spring/summer collection….It`s not finished yet, but i`m already imagining it with a sundress or stripey top..
I think I`ve found the perfect remedy for cold winter evenings! making a patchwork quilt. I am surprised at how addictive it is your brain can switch off and you can create the most beautiful quilt.
I was quite pleased at how high my piles were becoming…
although i do have this fabric to use….
It is going to take a really long time, but i like the fact that once it`s finished i will have spent hours and days and weeks making something that will hopefully last forever.
I have been working for Start in Salford for the last nine months and the weekly workshops came to an end just before Christmas. We had all formed a lovely way of working together and thursday afternoons became something I really looked forward to. After some time in the group, members began to work on their own projects and whilst being creative we shared our experiences and offered each other support. Working with the group for this length of time made me more aware of all the small changes happening to the group members. These changes started off as small but seemed to grow until i think for some members the changes were life changing. This experience of working so closely with these members and seeing these changes really touched me and made me think how amazing creativity is at bringing people together.
I think the group members became artists, if they weren`t already, by the time the group finished. I wanted to share with you some of the things we did……
This piece was inspired by Su Blackwell, I couldn`t believe the patience displayed when this was being made…
We tried it out with small lights in and it looked amazing! Unfortunately it didn`t photograph well…. this artist is still making this piece and i believe their is a stream and a bridge! I can`t wait to see it finished.
I had the most inspiring day in Manchester just wandering around. I did pop in at Corner House Gallery and the Whitworth but the best part of my day was seeing this amazing graffiti…
my boyfriend thought the one below looked like a super heroes lair! i thought that was a good description.
