Beautiful red poppies against a blue summer sky. Taken two weeks ago in Dungeness.
I couldn't resist taking a photo of this stretch of tarmac! Hmmm, I feel a textile coming on!
Above and below, two photos from our visit this week to the Hampton Court Flower Show. We went to the preview evening which ended in a spectacular firework display.
Photos taken in our garden. Such lovely colours, and I love the Hydrangea with it's blue and purpley pink.
Above and below, two paper laminations that I've stitched this week. They started out as black and white photocopies of a textile I made a couple of years ago, laminated onto voile, painted, stitched and finished with a little colour from my Karisma pencils.
Finally, below is a small textile I have made inspired by a photo I took of a ruin with an old rusted window frame. I built up the textures on the fabric with paint and stitch, and then added the two Six Spotted Burnet moths.
A productive week, so I hope you have enjoyed my offerings!
what wonderful pictures x I have to confess their is just something about poppies .. esp when seen against a blue sky xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane, Yes I agree, I may have to try and make a textile from those poppies one day!
ReplyDeleteThose poppies look so dynamic against the blue sky. Love your small pieces too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maggi, I've actually made a couple of small textiles of the poppies, and I may put them on here, but for some reason, they haven't photographed very well, and I'm wondering if it's got something to do with the strong contrast between the red and the blue! They look so much better in the flesh.
