Art Cloth update

In November I told you how I had cut up my art cloth and then pieced it back together with some bought fabric.

I took it with me to Littleheath Barn and used a thermofax screen to print over the whole thing to try to blend the bought fabric into the made fabric.

I had enlarged a Michelle Ward stencil on my computer and then traced over the images with unwanted dress pattern tissue.

I laid out the tissue stencils on the art cloth. Sorry about the quality of the photo.  I was standing on a chair using my phone!   Now it's ready to sew.

Here each of the large stencils have been stitched on one of the circles to the cloth.

A closeup of the pattern completely stitched.

And here the stitching with the tissue pattern removed.

Thanks for joining me today.

Another journal update

Our Everyday Journals - Living Your Word of the Year group on Facebook is going from strength to strength.  A lovely bunch of people who are very supportive of each other.

These are my pages for the last week.

I found a picture of the Canterbury Bells online and printed them out and cut round them and stuck them in my book.  I did consider trying to draw them myself but as you can see I didn't!

I shall probably put some more quotes in next month.

You can see how Mary and Valeire are getting on with their journals on their blogs.
Mary: Found on Brighton
Valerie: Valerie Sjodin

Month by month 2017

I thought I would do apost showing one photo from each month in 2017.  It was actually harder to do than I imagined.  There were a couple of months when I hardly took a photo.  Shock horror!
