| This is all hand-stitched - something I haven't done for a while |
Here is a flavour of some of the
things I have been working on this week.
In case you have the impression I am some superwoman or a whirling
textile dervish, this work hasn’t all happened this week – more stitching had
been added or another layer of print to the fabric – not the complete
thing. If only I did have the time or
ability to do all of this in one week!

| Spot the needle - a definite WIP |
In addition to my ‘real’ work, I
have been attempting piñata mark II for an important 7th birthday
party on Sunday. It is currently sitting
on my studio table, filled, but still newspaper coloured. It has to be goblin shaped and coloured by Sunday. Here’s hoping that it will actually split
unlike the last one, which was so indestructible, I had to take a Stanley knife
to it so it would spill its contents.
Wish me luck...!

| Even more hand-stitching, with beads from the African Fabric Shop |

| Not hand stitch, but you can probably see the potential for it in the drawing... |

Some lovely stitching there. Hand stitching is not something that I normally associate with your work so it is good to see this development. Lovely texture.
Gillian, your blog description says it all re: your role as a 'dervish'... :-) I really like the stitching in circles you are doing -- so lovely and even, too, creating, as Maggi says, wonderful texture.
