Thought I would show you the new layout of my white silk piece. More pieces have been embroidered and added, I unpinned the original composition, played around with it and I like this so much more. The first picture shows what I have done with the hexagons, part of them has been sacrificed to create a little sticky out section which I really love. This is the only section as yet to have any embellishment but I can hopefully make progress with this over the weekend.
More paperwork has been happening, not in the office kind of paperwork sense, yikes no, more creative paperwork. These all look great together on my table. I reckon make maybe another two or three then it will be all systems go on creating the finished books. Tomorrow though, if the light is good enough, I will take a picture of all my little bits ''en mass'' so to speak.
Chalk is my word for today, that's because all this white textural stitching reminds me so much of chalk placed as it is onto coloured papers of grey, cream and very pale biege. Having said that I don't like chalk much, can't bear the feel of it and especially don't like it scraped down a blackboard! My mind is wandering now, that's a sign that I need to go or who knows what I might say next!!P.S. In answer to Jane, yes some of these papers are painted, some stitched, some painted and stitched by machine (which the machine doesn't like very much!!) before being further embellished with hand embroidery and mercilessley pricked into submission with a needle!!
