Problems with blogging

…. so, now at least I know why I can’t post pictures to Blogger using my usual App   "Picasa has been folded into Google Photos, and in the course of the transition, Google has forbidden apps such as MarsEdit from creating albums on the service." Thanks Google, we love you so much! I could of course post directly in Blogger, though this is clunky.  It will still post to Wordpress…. so maybe this is the time I take the plunge and leave Blogger behind and head to the dark side that is Wordpress?   Off to research to see if I can import blogger posts to Wordpress…. Back soon ..read more

I keep a sketchbook of flowers and leaves and other design elements for reference, very handy when designing these pieces of work. I have an urge to paint….. and to sew in neutrals… but, commercial head on, these colourful pieces will make better cards.  First sketches and ideas. Adding in colour and thinking of fabrics, all very loose at this stage. Starting to applique silks and use free motion embroidery to shade the castle on the sand dunes, surrounded by the sea and sky ..read more

Art

  Just what it’s all about really isn’t it? ART. That desire to express what's inside you, to give it form, texture, shape, space and colour.  Sometimes it’s easy and looks exactly as you imagined it to be, sometimes it's very hard work and you don’t succeed. ”The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.”    Oxford Dictionary. Printing blocks - from a antique sale somewhere, forgotten in the depths of time ..read more

Thought I would show you how this flower evolved - over hours of work and several days of pondering. Trying to get the correct colour, adding more petals, softening the background.   For sale in the Etsy Shop ..read more

When guests are arriving there is an incentive to get on with curtain making…. Beautiful fabrics, though very delicate (no unpicking here) and very slippery! An excuse to use the elephant ribbon thats been on the shelf for a year and the beaded trim I’ve been hoarding since…… erm….. have forgotten. Finally complete and hanging.  Very pleased with the result ..read more
