Tideline- After the Storm
I've put thoughts of playing with studio journals aside for the moment, concentrating on finishing stitching and painting one of my entries for FoQ. I learnt a lot from my Journal test piece below - to leave more of the underlying fabric showing through and to introduce more colours into the paler areas ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAjGRTiCKSqrRzZNTrgR-BQn1yZ2xTCNeoFxlbYvlyKyUdt6HN9U5IaBW62kvVXnNiQxEqXYac1prpCMWzPsFU3wFAZ5JYyqOiU_oMR08cFnF8dKLYMRxqDF4L_Urbj0wKJU_VH3Ss9zs/s320/tideline+journal.jpg)

I'm not showing you the whole thing yet as having to wrap it round a board to paint one half and then the other, I haven't seen it myself apart from doing a merge in photoshop! I've printed out a couple of merged photos to scribble on - I can see where some areas need further attention. This has been carried out with nagging toothache (re-occurance of infection from failed treatment earlier in the year). Poor Ian has borne the brunt of my foul temper - if ever there was a need to dedicate quilts in the same way as books to a patient spouse! Audio books from Audible have helped- 'Anne of Green Gables' when stitching ( with her impatience of patchwork) and 'Wuthering Heights' while painting.
