    Despite it having been quite warm the last couple of days, it is definitely time to shove the summer outfits to the back of the wardrobe and dig out the winter clobber. Unfortunately I’ve got rid of some stuff that didn’t fit, had holes in and whatever, so…

    Hanging my autumn bunting up on the front of my house seems to have brought about a change in the weather. It is most definitely autumn now. Wet, cold and windy means warm socks, boots, coats and hot chocolate, not to mention looking at beautiful autumns, mostly in…

    Back in July I made some bunting to string up on the front of the house to celebrate the start of the summer holidays. I had planned to take to down the next day, then I decided to leave it up for a week, but I liked it…

Colour schemes for February ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค February alw 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!

Friday weirdness fix ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜‚ Things have been a Friday weirdness fix ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜‚

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 ๐Ÿ‘
