Drawn to science

I guess I am an academic at heart. Not sure how you would even begin to try something like this at home but the concept is as intriguing as it is beautiful.

About time

 Emma Rodgers - Such wonderful energy and movement in her work. The way she builds each piece is fascinating.

Egon Schiele

Whilst browsing the internet today, I rediscovered some of the most beautiful drawings by Egon Schiele. I loved his work when I was an art student and coming across this image today just made me want to go to a life drawing class again. Simply beautiful work.

Experimental stitching


Stitched detail of wings embedded in clay with under glaze and semi-matt cream dragged over the design. You can see almost every stitch and the fabric imprint. The process is like etching a copper plate.

Modern Girl

I just love my 1968 New Home sewing machine. Blast that foot pedal.
