Ian was helping out at his parents this weekend clearing out their garage so made the most of some un-interupted creative time - sewing away and then realising it was 2.30 and better have some lunch!
Two more red boat journal boats constructed (the top one with some gorgeous hand dyed fabric from Jo Lovelock - I'd rather buy than dye so will definately be using her services again)
Much time was spent on taking all the elements of this indigo sea piece and rearranging them ( and having to do some emergency surgery on my polystyrene design 'wall' with liberal applications of duck tape.) Still some way to go, trying to work out the best use of particular marks. I definately need to replenish my indigo stash.
I love buying other artists work! Thanks Ian for by birthday money in advance.

I do like your indigo pieces but I know what you mean about the stash of indigo running low. I mean to dye some when the weather gets warmer - bought the 'kit' last year but haven't used it yet. And thanks for the link to Gill Banks. I have been tearing up red fabric today (guess why!) and it is very interesting to see how she uses linen.
Thanks for the link to Gill Banks - seeing her work has started a whole new train of thought. It also reminded me of some "dark" pieces at Designer Craftsmen show last year (or was it the year before) - I wonder if they were hers....
