Friday Catch Up - 28th March 2025

Inktense blocks and Pencils on fabric. I tried using hand sanitizer gel to stop the paint running. It kind of worked but left marks where I'd put it, perhaps I should put it all over.



I had another go at the grand children, it is a bit better but not great. Elliot's blue tongue is from an ice lolly.
This is the same one as last week but I've put in a background

Gelli Print Book [double page spreads]
The face is from a magazine
The big owl is a gelli print, the small owl a paper cut.
The bird is a paper cut
The robin is a layer of paper napkin
I was trying different types of pen, wax crayon etc to gelli print.
The bird is a cut out

Photo Challenges - Stockholm [from a cruise last October]

We stopped here for a cuppa and cake







The narrowest street in Stockholm

I've got more photos from Stockholm still to come
Have a great week!

Another stitched face. I stuck to just black threads and a little applique for this one.

Next I tried Inktense blocks on fabric, no stitching


I outlined this one with black marker


Gelli Print Book - I've used an old cookery book to use some of the gelli prints I've been doing. I removed some of the pages so that it wouldn't get too thick and also added some collaged pieces.

The little picture was a drawing/collage I saw of a doll on Pinterest

The face is the fabric one I showed you last time

Another drawing of a doll I saw on Pinterest

Some things I cut out on my cutting machine

The figure is part digital print of a photo and the arms are from a magazine.

Stitched Portraits
I joined in with the Textile Artist free taster course
This is my portrait with the appliqued top and black stitching. The background is a page from a book made and given to me by a friend.
I've added coloured thread next.

Tablet Digital Doodles
I combined two flowers to make one which I then made into a repeating pattern

It was a very grey day with as much ice as water in the lake at Herrington Park


Church door in Ripon

That's all folks, enjoy your weekend.
