Machines, cogs & wheels

Earlier this month I shared some photos based on the theme of Lines.  This time I'm going to look at the folder labelled Machines.  Looking at the photos perhaps I should have named it Cogs & Wheels.

Foodie Fotos

Oh YES!  The photgraphy group ladies met in person.  IN MY HOUSE!  Sooooo excited.We were last able to meet in person in February 2020.

And the theme for this month was food and drink.  I yet again raided the archives as I still hadn't been out of the house much - certainly not out to eat.  After we chose the subject we saw these amazing photos.

It's 'old hat' now, but this was the first time I ever saw this on a cup of coffee.  I know! I don't get out much!  Actually it's just that I don't like the coffee in places like Costa or Starbucks so don't go in them.  Having said I don't get out much - it was in Montreal.  So I do really - just not to coffee shops!

I enjoyed looking back through my photos.  Even if I can't travel physically, it enable me to travel through my memories.

A new piece

Last month I showed you how I had added printed layers to my fabrics for Text Texture Textile.  On Thursday at the session at Littleheath Barn I started a new piece of work using the fabrics.

I started - let's all say it together - by cutting up the fabrics.

Then I started sewing them together - just picking randomly from the pile.

After ironing them I cut them into 6 inch wide strips and 4 inch wide strips.

As each strip grew I pinned them on the wall.

When I got home I pinned them onto the design wall - actually a drop cloth hanging from a wardrobe!

I cut up the larger pieces I had machined together (on the left and right of the above picture) and finished machining all the pieces together.

I'm going to leave it  hanging up for a while so I can think about what I shall do next.
