I'm pleased to show the finished piece which is the second in the <b>squiggles</b> series.<br />
I've started the next piece of work, I'm making a design of blocks of colour against a background. My base fabric is canvas, as opposed to hessian, so it's going to be composed of straight lines. I enjoy the freedom of working on hessian- being able to draw freely with fabric, as well as the straight line constraints of canvas.Mary Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01036756985193520006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044759309134942881.post-46263537041061986282013-04-01T14:13:00.001-07:002013-04-01T14:13:18.467-07:00I didn't like this bit!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Moonraking Handmade Trail at Slaithwaite Methodist church was fab! There were lots of people coming and going all afternoon. You can see other Colne Valley artists in the background.<br />
I really enjoyed making lots of different moons - crescent moons, blue moons, harvest moons.... hooky and proddy moons. That second harvest moon landed butter side down...<br />

Next week I am going to the official opening of the new midwife-led birth centre at the <a href="http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/search/?search=Bradford+Royal+Infirmary%2C+BRI%2C+Health">
Bradford Royal Infirmary</a> which opened its doors to women on November
26 as part of the Foundation Trust’s £3.6 million investment in
maternity and neonatal facilities.<br />
I was delighted to be invited to make a piece of work for the new unit and am looking forward to seeing it in situ and to meeting <b>Anita Rani </b> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/theoneshow/backstage/profiles/anita_rani.shtml">http://www.bbc.co.uk/theoneshow/backstage/profiles/anita_rani.shtml</a> who will be cutting the ribbon.<br />

I've been to see Magie Relph this morning. I love it that I can use the pieces she cuts off from the ends of rolls of fabric. Using her fabric makes me feel good!<br />

On Tuesday I had a student who is on a trip from Melbourne, taking a break from acrobatic performance to learn rag rug skills. She was the first student that I welcomed into my new studio space at home. Talking, learning, exchanging ideas, she too went home happy with two projects started.<br />
On Wednesday I went to Africa -sort of. An indigo dyeing day at the home of Magie Relph. Magie is very knowledgeable and really does demystify the art of indigo dyeing. I love exploring the many techniques for preparing fabric to resist the dye. Having gasped with awe and wonder at the site of the fabric turning blue before your very eyes, there is more magic as you unpick/undo the stitching/take out the marbles, pegs etc and see the pattern that has been created.<br />
I really want to use some of this fabric in my locker hook work, but I can't bear the thought of ripping it up.....<br />
Perhaps I could make some fabulous indigo pieces for my acrobat friend to use in her dangling performances....<br />

I had a very keen participant at the LBT Summer Fair, who went away fired up with her first project- a proddy heart. So keen in fact that within a few days she has emailed a photo of the finished piece.<br />
It seems that there are lots of people who want to learn craft skills and revive the art of making things. Rag rugging is a cheap and easy hobby, what better than curling up in front of the fire with a rag rug or cushion or some other project on the go.Mary Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01036756985193520006noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044759309134942881.post-37084630649910868012011-08-25T12:52:00.000-07:002011-08-25T12:58:16.137-07:00Getting ready for HOSTTime to take stock of the year's work and get ready for HOST Open Studio Trail.<br />

Here it is, hot off the press. I need to do the finishing and framing next.<br />
This is a departure in the type of work I do, in terms of scale and design. It makes me feel energised and looking forward to more work on a grander scale.Mary Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01036756985193520006noreply@blogger.com0
