Tonight at our Embroiderers' Guild meeting, we had our AGM. Once all the necessary business was over, one of our members gave a brief talk on her work. She showed us the most beautiful cobweb felt scarves she had made and I think, no, I know, we will be asking her to do a workshop for us. It was then 'show 'n' tell'. We had a member, on her visit back to her home country of Denmark, find some vintage dance costume and Nickie was willing to model the socks!
I won this glass cup for a piece of work inspired by a workshop.
I expect you can guess that it was the workshop that I did with Lynda Monk. While surfing the net I came across the artist Benita Murray. She makes sculptures in different metals. On finding a piece of her work that looked like a metal collage, I knew just what I wanted to try and make for my entry.
Still working on my 60's theme as you can see by the Quant flowers.
I used two types of xpandaprint to create the different textures in my piece. I enjoyed experimenting to create this piece.
