    An Attempt at Textile Art

    Today I’m sharing something that I made a long time ago, probably about 5 or 6 years ago. I’d actually forgotten all about it until I discovered it when I was sorting through the bags of mess hanging on the back of the Utility Room door. The church…

    Following on from the disastrous car seat cover, here is something I did manage to do to make Boy 4’s car seat more comfortable. It came with chest pads originally but having been washed a number of times and being stored in the shed on and off for…

    We have just come back from a lovely week’s holiday in Scotland, which is my excuse this time for no new posts! There was internet but it was patchy. The beautiful views more than made up for it though. It was right in the middle of nowhere (ok,…

    During one of my sortouts I discovered this hideous cushion that had been a Christmas present a few years ago. I’d completely forgotten about it, due to it being horrible and because it doesn’t “go” with anything at all in our house. The cushion pad was easy to…

    So I’m enjoying my new crochet hooks but folks, I like to keep my stuff in pretty things and the thing they came in was not pretty. Plasticky, yes. Pink, yes. Pretty, no. It’s a little bit nasty. And Boy 4 has broken it. Sounds like an excuse…

    I’ve been crocheting for years but it’s only very recently that I bought a set of crochet hooks. Usually I either manage with the hooks I have (I’ve got three) or I have to go into town to visit the craft shop to get one. All I can…

So I gave in and got a gelli plate. I didn't befor So I gave in and got a gelli plate. I didn't before because I thought it was probably not the best idea to get myself into another thing that was  potentially addicting! But due to the kerfuffle in finishing the next unit of my textiles degree, I missed the deadline to start in February, so I start the next unit in March. And I still wanted to try it.

These are the best results from my first attempts. The first one is my favourite, which I made with a piece of hessian. The second one was also hessian, and the last 2 were bubble wrap. But even the ones that didn't turn out that well had interesting bits, and the others could probably be used for backgrounds or collage.

I'm going to carry on experimenting. If you've tried printing with a gelli plate and you have some suggestions, please let me know!

Friday weirdness fix 🤪😂 Things have been a Friday weirdness fix 🤪😂

Things have been a bit quiet recently because I have been finishing off another huge unit for my textiles degree.

As I could have predicted, I got hideously behind and needed about 2 months when I only had a week!

Anyway, I managed to pull it out of the bag and got enough done and sorted out to hand in, and I only had a couple of minor meltdowns 👍

I went out for a walk in the snow, and I was struc I went out for a walk in the snow, and I was struck by how the winter sunlight made the trees look coppery, and how lovely the copperiness was against the blue sky. 

I do think noticing is enough. It's not always necessary to make or do something, especially if it feels more like proving that you saw it rather than wanting to.

There are some ideas cooking away in my head for things I might do, and having some ideas of colours already could be useful. So I made a colour scheme from the photo I took 🪾💙❄️
