Travels to Yorkshire

Last Friday the Clark Family and Jenn's friend Sophie

made our way up to Yorshire, well we were staying

at The Withernsea Holiday Park, which is technically

in East Riding and on the edge of Humberside!

An eventful journey as the sat navigation system was totally confused

when we had two diversions! long ones too!

Carol Working

Here is Carol working on her wallhanging

in the glorious sunshine.

The wallhanging is a Sun Bonnet Sue!

Gallery Day 21st September 2010

Peter and I were in charge of The Gallery Today as

Judy and Haydn were still away.

Margaret wanted to do some mixed media collage

with papers, keeping within the colour range of whites, creams

coffee and gold. Lots of collecting had gone on before and she set

to, tearing folding,colouring,painting,stamping and BURNING!!

The soldering iron is wonderful for creating holes

and making scorching marks.

Just remember to have some water near by.

Have good ventilation and wear a mask.

Protect the surfaces,I use a ceramic tiles.

Have a tool to hold what you are wanting to make holes in.

She was able to have a very different morning.

Megs Garden

This afternoon I went to see another textile graphic artist.

Meg Bowne.

She creates wonderful pictures out of textile and paper.

Some are stitched and incredibly detailed.

This one was made for Alveva's Garden Party Challenge.

Meg is going to display some of her pictures at

Alveva's Exhibition in October.

It is going to be a wonderful Textile Exhibition.

It was a lovely afternoon with Meg in her inspirational home.

She showed me her garage studio,

her garden studio for mosaic making

and her indoor creating space for storing her quilts,

textile art and jewelry making.

See more of the places I have visited this month for

inspiration on previous posts.
