The walk up to my studio is beautiful right now, the Bluebells and all the other little flowers are just gorgeous. The wall are going to be covered in foxgloves and those big daisies, I cannot wait, I love Foxgloves.
I sometimes wonder how I get it all done, then I look around the house!! I don’t get it all done.
I do however do the things that I want, most of the time. Obviously having a young daughter I do have to do things for her the odd time!
My husband reckons if her were a horse he would get more attention.
I have been re honing my old skills and trying to make a top from plain cotton and then dyes it.
I am quite pleased but of course it is not finished yet and the finish has always been my weakness.
This has been dyed using a selection of Batik dyes and some dyes that i bought in the Souks of Marrakesh in 1998!! Very ethnic and earth friendly I think.
Here is a scarf that was going to be a silk bolero but I did not cut enough fabric so it is a cowl/scarf, quite cool actually.
I had a mad moment when I decided to play with my mothers dinner dance stole.
I decided to felt the colours that were in this piece of shimmering fabric on to it. It is interesting to see the contrast between the shiny fabric and the texture of the wool.
Now I really must go and paint up two silk pieces of fabric to be made into wraps I think???
