    Ok, so I’ve been going beserkย with the crocheted flowers lately. My excuses are as follows: I like them. I like winter but I’m bored with it now. I’m looking forwards to flowers, sunshine and being able to leave the house with the boys in under 20 minutes. So…

    The Year of the Bus

    February 20, 2015March 19, 2016 Living a Creative Life

    A few weeks ago we took the boys off to London to see the bus sculptures in the Olympic Park at Stratford. The sculptures had been commissioned to commemorate The Year of the Bus, so called because 2014 marked 60 years of the London Routemaster, 75 years of…

    I have been crochetingย a lot of flowers recently. I have plans for them. I’m not just making them because I like flowers and I think they are nice, although if I didn’t think that I wouldn’t make them! Flowers need leaves. At least the ones I have been…

    How to Make a Little Purse

    A while ago I was experimenting with making little lined purses. I wanted them to have zips and also be flat at the bottom so that they would stand up on their own. Some gorgeous lace zips caught my eye so I decided to combine the two to…

February is the doorway between winter and spring February is the doorway between winter and spring ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค๐ŸŒฑโ„๏ธ

The days stay light a little bit longer. Twigs are tipped with buds, and the green swords if daffodils are cutting through the cold ground. Even when it is cold, there is sometimes a hint of spring in the air, and the promise of green things waiting.

Colour schemes for February ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค February always se Colour schemes for February ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค

February always seems like a green and white kind of month. Snowdrops, obviously, but also I'm surprised at how much green there is at the beginning of February. The lack of leaves make the greens of moss and lichen, and of evergreens, more noticeable. 

By the end of February, there'll be blossom, and maybe even a few leaves ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ฎ

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!
