Drove down to Harrogate with master blogger Chriss, and had a good day looking at some beautiful embroidery and spending money I haven't got ... as per usual.
I didn't demonstrate today, but the stitched and velvet embossed samples I created last week were on display on the IMAGINATION stand. They looked great !!!
The little tip I picked up today was to iron transfoil onto bondaweb through a stencil, different colour foil/foils were applied in the areas that were left. It created a blended foil effect, and was so simple.
The other idea I liked was to repeat stamp an image on several different papers, slice them up width ways and reassemble the image using the different coloured strips. They had also woven the strips between vertical golden threads. Again, very simple but very effective.
Have really got to get on with the three black canvas's samples I am doing this week.
I am thinking of dividing one of the canvas's up into squares/rectangles and sponging paint through a stencil using several different patterned templates.
Another will be collaged with papers/ gesso/mica mortar and will include chopped and whole sequins and glittery bits, and maybe impressed foam stamps into the mortar.....
The third sample will include gold leaf...... but haven't thought it through yet.
I also have glass painting samples to complete for my visit to Hull...... and a few other samples as well !!!!!!!
Had better see if I can find my work desk underneath the usual rubble, you never know I might actually discover the screw that I've lost ...... from my sunglasses !
