With the subsequent lockdowns, I have been intermittently preparing items ready for uploading images to my blogs & websites. Some of this includes a range of fashion dolls (a Sindy above), machine embroidery samples as well as some new ideas for recycling?upcycling. I've tried to keep it all to a minimum as it takes such a long time with the result that only a few initial shots are used - if I used everything, I would be spending all day blogging & just not get the practical side going!!
As I begin to organise & tidy up my on-line activities, I came across an earlier blog that reminded me of one of my all-time favourite poems by Edward Lear (above). That in turn led me to one of my posts about a textile game I created, entitled 'Deja Vu'. I meant to upload it before ... perhaps I now will!
Stage 4 is about to start with the decision to stop writing some earlier blogs as they're now being summarised within the main website one as "The Art of eDoing" - aka: what I'm doing by computer! To read it, click the above image which incidentally features as artwork from the latest - "Project:Anger".
This particular project is hopefully going to be an emotive piece of work that's been 'lurking' around for some time so when commissioned to do it, I was very pleased. Unfortunately it's having a few stitchery problems at the moment which is holding me up but it has meant the project's been totally documented to date. This is one of the first times I've done this & hope to keep it up as it usually takes more time to complete the write-up than stitch the work!

Another 2 blogs are created to enable specific 'mixed media projects' to be covered & to link other ones together (click images to visit them).
The first one (above) details the making of the projects & the second one (below) narrates my creative journey.
