Tanglewood Threads: Scratching With a Sense of Fun

http://tanglewoodthreads.blogspot.com/2015/07/scratching-with-sense-of-fun.html

Threads of Thought on creating with cloth and stitch. Monday, 27 July 2015. Scratching With a Sense of Fun. Some weeks I wonder if there will be anything to scratch. Then at The Artist Way meeting we talked. About a sense of fun. And I thought of squiggly shapes. And then I thought of Paul Klee. 27 July 2015 at 07:02. 27 July 2015 at 09:50. Oh, I love Paul Klee - have a couple of his prints in the living room. It looks like you had a totally fun week! 27 July 2015 at 09:50. 27 July 2015 at 10:03. Its a d...

Tanglewood Threads: Rusted Scratchings

http://tanglewoodthreads.blogspot.com/2015/08/rusted-scratchings.html

Threads of Thought on creating with cloth and stitch. Monday, 10 August 2015. I have been stitching, stitching, stitching. A new series I think I will call. Also been working on the finishing touches. On my latest journal scrolls. To include them in a new show. But still making time to stitch. Graffiti for my scratchings. I am working with a fine woollen thread. Will write about them soon. 10 August 2015 at 06:44. 10 August 2015 at 08:46. I like the look of these - a rich, textured appearance! How Kindne...

Tanglewood Threads: Scratching an Uninspired Week

http://tanglewoodthreads.blogspot.com/2015/07/scratching-uninspired-week.html

Threads of Thought on creating with cloth and stitch. Monday, 20 July 2015. Scratching an Uninspired Week. A great big blob of a week! But now it is Monday again. 20 July 2015 at 06:21. Thanks for sharing your work! 20 July 2015 at 08:36. Even the blob looks interesting, though! 21 July 2015 at 10:00. I prefer to think of it as texturized manipulation of fabric *smile*. Actually I quite like it! 21 July 2015 at 13:41. 22 July 2015 at 10:37. 28 July 2015 at 23:12. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Storm...

Tanglewood Threads: August 2015

http://tanglewoodthreads.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Threads of Thought on creating with cloth and stitch. Thursday, 27 August 2015. Think this is my favourite so far. Don't have a name for it yet. From the First to this one. The stitching has become even denser. As I stitched I was thinking of the holes. In dead standing trees. Put there by the shy. All on a cotton cloth. Left in our tannin rich stream for a few days. Obviously wrapped around a bit of rust too. Travelling from top to bottom. Love not having control. Right now stream is completely dried up.

Tanglewood Threads: March 2015

http://tanglewoodthreads.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Threads of Thought on creating with cloth and stitch. Tuesday, 31 March 2015. Some folk might recall my studio clean-up earlier this year. One of the things I really enjoyed was bringing my messy drawers of threads. Thanks to a friend who keeps everything I had a bag of cardboard tubes. From various paper products. I think he thought I was a bit strange wanting to take them off his hands. As you can see they are keeping my pearl cottons well under control. But now most of them are neatly wrapped. I have ...

Tanglewood Threads: February 2015

http://tanglewoodthreads.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Threads of Thought on creating with cloth and stitch. Wednesday, 25 February 2015. As we have been confined inside. Snow has also kept us indoors. And outside the wind has played. Too deep for the Rusty Pups to go out the front door. Links to this post. Tuesday, 24 February 2015. Finally painted the stitched canvases. Sticking to soft gentle colours of winter. I've been couching every day. Well actually one day I unpicked most of it. It had started bulging outwards. I nearly gave up. And create more greys.

Tanglewood Threads: Dye Stuff

http://tanglewoodthreads.blogspot.com/2015/08/dye-stuff.html

Threads of Thought on creating with cloth and stitch. Tuesday, 11 August 2015. There are great waves of Queen Anne's Lace. Down on the dyke. But am not sure if I want the colours they produce this time. Should freeze some for the future. Every day I gather the spent lilly blooms. Perhaps I will explore what marks they will. Add to some silk I am planning for. My black walnut dye bath. And perhaps I will mordant this lovely. Discoloured sheet of copper. Tansy flowers are also now in bloom. Ripples in the ...

Tanglewood Threads: Still Going Round in Circles

http://tanglewoodthreads.blogspot.com/2015/05/still-going-round-in-circles.html

Threads of Thought on creating with cloth and stitch. Friday, 15 May 2015. Still Going Round in Circles. The machine stitching project that simply has to get done. Has forced me to stop working on Winter Solstice. It started because I simply had to find a way. Of using my Egyptian cottons that I can no longer stitch through. So I sit and couch strips onto sturdy fabric. Round and round in circles. All I have left to do is to fill in the white area at the bottom. I am impatient to get back to this though.
