To prepare myself creatively for my new class I have been revisiting old techniques. Gathering images around me that inspire me, that I love. Adding scraps of lace and colour, manipulating cloth and adding touches of that here and there. You can probably detect that I adore Christian Lacroix....be still my beating heart. As for the work of Maxine Bristow...I aspire to such amazing pieces. I have travelled to see her pieces more than a few times and ''in the flesh' they really blow you away. Huge pockets, repetitive stitching...vessels of the beautiful kind.
It is as dark as night here today, hence no pictures of my white cloth. Somebody have a word with the necessary department please......I shall stitch whilst I wait....

such beauty from so many talented people. and in order to appreciate the light, we must appreciate the dark. it will be better tomorrow, i imagine.
Great inspiration pics, and totally agree with you' re Maxine Bristow
Certainly when the weather's gloomy, inspirational pictures lift the heart. I hope the weather improves, though, as all that inspiration has to be used somehow!
I have to say that YOUR work is what inspires me Karen.
