Jeanette's Green Box

Jeanette's mixed media box is now taking shape.

It's taken a while and a few trials and errors for

it to take shape. Over enthusiasm, with a heat gun

saw the first model being cut up but as you can

see it has been out to good use in the

'window' sections of the box.

Sometimes it is hard for people to see a

3D object come together when you have

to work on the 2D to begin with, so that

all the pieces come together. There is

lots of trialling of trimmings and techniques

before the right combination shows itself.

Jeanette and I have alot of patience so

Mixed Media pieces like the,

'Green Treasure Box', slowly

evolve over weeks.

There is alot of machine and hand stitching in this piece.

Lots of trimmings and snippets to add

the interesting details.

Sara Working Hard

Sara has been coming to The Gallery for a month and has

done so much in that short time.

Sara has chosen the theme of Butterflies and

has created so many lovely pages for her sketchbooks

and for future inspiration.

The piece at the top is the cover for a sketchbook

where you add your own pages.

The fabric for the striped patchwork came straight

out of the scrap bag and Sara had her first go at

Free Machining she is a natural!

So watch this space!

Gallery Day 27th September

There are so many different ideas and projects

going on, at 'Textile Tuesday @The Gallery",

It's wonderful to be teaching so many

creative techniques with willing and talented students.

Christmas is definitely coming as students are

making Christmas Runners and thinking of

gifts for family and friends.

Sylvia has finished her first one (top) and she is now

making a stripped white and gold one

with lots of stitching.

Beryl above is sewing her blocks together.
