A blog about making art and other things using cloth, paper, paint, colour, stitch, and all sorts of exciting techniques, some of which I'm sure I still have to discover! I hope that the joy all this gives me is visible in what you can see here.

Cloth,Stitch,Paper and Paint





Our new KAIROS challenge is to make a container/box every day for 7 days. This idea came to us through a blog post by Debbie Lyddon. Three of us are going to spend a week at the same venue as Debbie and her friend in Cornwall this year, and we are hoping to do the same thing while away there. I have made the above 3 from some scrappy bits of quilted cloth I made some time ago, and I'm hoping to make 4 more. The shape reminds me of small boats, which I though very apt for a week by the coast in Cornwall. I have also been experimenting with paper containers, which you can see below, but I definitely favour the little cloth boats!


Meanwhile I am still exploring ideas inspired by the pier structure, and I think I am getting closer to making up a few ideas in cloth and stitch.



Oh dear! What does the above image remind you of? I need to make a change or two to this one I think!








My sketchbook of ideas is getting thicker and heavier, something that I'm sure will be giving me design opportunities for some time yet, so watch this space!
