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....
