Following on from the stencilling on my latest figures, the final stage is adding the stitching to define the shapes.
 |
| Stitching |
This is more
important than for the more solid figures as the silk is so transparent, the
stitching will give strong opaque shapes when they are ‘floating’ in mid-air as
even the areas painted with the paintstiks are still see-through.
 |
| More stitching, getting an even thicker outline |
The stitching is
now almost complete and therefore so are the pieces, which is great as I have
to hang the exhibition next week. Things
are really coming together for the show at the Scottish StorytellingCentre. I’ve almost finished all the
work, a little leaflet is being printed and I’ve (nearly) got the childcare
organised.
Now the biggest problem is
finding an existing piece of work that I can’t locate. It isn’t in the cupboard or under the bed and
there aren’t many other places left in the house where it could be. I can’t believe I can lose an entire artwork! So this weekend I’m going to be busy
finishing the work, making the labels etc and trying to find the missing
work. Fingers crossed...

It's going to be a stunning exhibit, Gillian! I do hope that other piece reveals itself!
These pieces are so vibrant. I do hope that you find the missing piece in time.
