hooray! New Studio!
At last after 7 years of waiting I’ve got a new studio ! Can’t wait to have most of my stuff out of the house and my loom saved from the garden!!
Not quite sure how I’m going to afford it but I’ll just have to chase those potential commissions! ( I have a few) tapestry portaits in the potential pipe line!
Any way I’d better get on…
just desperate to tell you!
tootsies self portrait
I left tootsi for 5 mins in studio and out of about 35 photos she took I quite liked these!
TOO MUCH TO DO AND NO TIME TO WRITE!
What have I been up too? since I last posted?
Come back from Loch Fyne and a great relaxing holiday…beat janice 9 times out of 11 at scrabble!
Have sorted out my teaching at Langside college
Have made two commissions (scarves) and finished off portrait commission.
Have been to cinema twice with tootsie, wallee (rubbish) and space monkeys(better if slightly)
Have decided to do 2 craft fairs if poss one at Byblos glasgow 27th sept and other at lighthouse 27th oct
Have also decided to embelish small cotton bags as well as cashmere scarves -brains a buzzing with all my thoughts whizzing around at a million miles an hour… have also been watching what I eat and have lost 7lbs this week! amazing really…..
Got tootsie her new gymshoes for her new class tomorrow and also nursery starts for her too in the afternoon
write soon once I’ve calmed doon a bit!
2nd portrait of fiona finished!
2nd of a pair of portraits finished
At last i finished this commission! This has been my hardest tapestry yet I think! I am pretty happy with it! Though always as an artist I always feel I’d weave it a little differently now if I was to start again!
This tapestry is about 29 x 20 cm and is hand woven using linen and cotton.
