This blog sorely needs an overhaul – when I look at it and see how much there is to update, I quail. I could start by posting something, a few bits and pieces to get started again. Just do it, or whatever it is they say.
Soooo…. I’ve been printing a bit on fabric, just playing around with techniques, trying out different blocks and having fun. The Tiree Tapestry Group (which is astonishingly almost a year old) is holding a simple printing workshop next weekend in the cattle market, and it’s in preparation for that. Who knew that the calyx of a tomato would print a starfish?
What else? I’ve been enjoying reading about this collaboration/exchange between Jane McKeating and Jilly Morris; it’s a fascinating insight into their processes, ideas and self-awareness.
And I’ve been thinking a lot – about how to carve out time for making, about continuing to learn, being committed. Reflecting. Seeking balance.
Nice to see you back. looking forward to hearing more.
Hear! Hear! glad to see you back Fiona and to know that you are still busy being creative. You have shamed me into getting my blog up-to-date. Rather neglected of late. I will try to do something about it this week.
Hey, that was a nice surprise when I clicked in an idle moment! And I really love the tomato starfish. Glad you’re enjoying Jane and Jilly’s Pairings thing, it’s fascinating isn’t it?
hello Fiona, nice to see you posting and see what you have been up too, the Tapestry group sounds fun it’s so nice to meet people with similar interests, the starfish look like they are dancing, enjoy your print workshop, Frances
