This week’s Pinterest board is all
about circles. I love the never-ending
shape of circles, but I think I prefer them to be imperfect – slightly off
rather than precisely round.
I have been
drawing them for a while, playing around with the idea of circles within
circles and this week I screen-printed some circle fabric. So it seemed appropriate to find circles on
Pinterest. There were some amazing
pieces of art, textiles, graphic design from all across the world. Very inspiring.

With my own work, I think the motif
of a circle has a place in the sense of us never quite forgetting our ancient
goddesses – there is some primitive memory within us. Also, without wishing to be cheesy, there is
the idea of the circle of life as we move through time. This is definitely something to be developed
and hopefully expressed in more interesting terms!
As well as playing on Pinterest and
printing and going to exhibitions this week, I also spoke at Stirling andDistrict Embroiderers’ Guild on Wednesday evening. They were a lovely receptive group and a
pleasure to share with. They are having
their own exhibition at the Smith Gallery in Stirling soon and from what I saw,
it should be well worth a visit. The
Smith has also commissioned them to make a banner about Stirling and its
heritage and it is coming together beautifully.
I can’t wait to see the finished result!
