Momogami

 worked some paper using the momogami te Niue, informed by Cas Holmes in Textileartist.org Stitch Club. Using a small amount of wallpaper glue developed a scene, however as I had sampled the momogami with a piece of beautiful red paper I was determined to add it. Was to be a setting sun. Too red so covered with white tissue. Wrong shape so tried adding sun beam stitches 😂 . Nothing seems to work so I’ll just leave it as a strange big red blob in the sky. 

I used a ruby beholder to look at value in the image. The top right needed something darker so the little bird was stitched. The red blob looks dark but is a medium value in this way.

Some finishing

 

Beetroot on canvas for SotA fundraising . These canvases made by members of 2QAQ are usually sold at SotA exhibitions but hasn’t occurred this year due to Covid. So they are for sale on the Queensland Quilters website. Felt , fabric, lace, yarn were used. Handstitching included stab stitch, running, couching, feather and random seed stitch.

This has now been SOLD

Ecodying a wood nymph

 Spent the day at Boonah ecodying. We had three pots with eucalyptus in one , onion skins in the other and an iron pot. Some beautiful results. I laid a few out and was given the lighter piece that has been rust dyed.  A wood nymph, can you see him? The dark twine is the hemp string used on the bundles today.

I am now thinking it might just be a bunyip. Needs something for her left arm ,a face not sure how to make a bunyip face , 

Harriet’s Mat

 Today I finished the binding on this floor mat for my gorgeous granddaughter, Harriet. Made from fabrics in my stash including a pink butterfly print that my daughter used to make a wrap around skirt in High School. 

This new Interface is difficult to operate. I somehow put three photos on but can’t work out how to edit to remove two of them. Will keep trying. 😼
