Blue is my favourite colour: January 2008
http://lesleyv.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Blue is my favourite colour. Tuesday, 29 January 2008. Sugar and vinegar mixture. In the C&G Yahoo group we have been discussing ideas how to create textures, and I happened to mention something we did on our C&G course which was to mix sugar with vinegar to make a really thick paste. I then made marks in it with a fork - bit like the mashed potato on the top of shepherds pie - and left it to dry until it hardened. Other textures on the board were created from:. Tissue paper scrunched up. What I particul...

Blue is my favourite colour: No stitching!
http://lesleyv.blogspot.com/2008/03/no-stitching.html
Blue is my favourite colour. Saturday, 8 March 2008. Hubs and I have booked ourselves onto a weekend printmaking course in Suffolk in April, which includes collagraphs, so will post some pics of that in due course. This should be quite a relaxing weekend too as we don't have to take anything with us as everything is provided. Have missed you Lesley! Although I liked your last idea and that is still waiting for me to try! Marmalade is still put aside for you. 9 March 2008 at 05:48. Keeping Me in Stitches.

Blue is my favourite colour. Tuesday, 28 August 2007. Back to the drawing board, or should I say sewing machine:. My attempt to recreate a vessel inspired by Janet Edmunds book Three Dimensional Embroidery has failed miserably. Having taken out all the gathering stitches, there are some nice ripples in the fabric still,. Which I might do something with, but not sure what yet. It is probably one of those pieces that will stay hanging around for a while until inspiration strikes again. I collected my first...

Blue is my favourite colour: A day out at Kew Gardens
http://lesleyv.blogspot.com/2008/03/day-out-at-kew-gardens.html
Blue is my favourite colour. Wednesday, 19 March 2008. A day out at Kew Gardens. Not having planned on blogging for a while, I had such a great day on Saturday, visiting the largest ever exhibition of Henry Moore sculptures at Kew Gardens. Http:/ www.kew.org/henry-moore/. That I thought I would share some photos. The different textures are fascinating. Some are so smooth from being stroked over the years. Each time they are exhibited they are cleaned and given a new coat of beeswax. 21 March 2008 at 01:58.
