Moore

With a blue skied, crisp autumnal day upon us ... a lazy sunday afternoon was spent at kew gardens admiring the Henry Moore sculptures there.

This is 'Internal/External form'. As we approached ... i decided it was a lover's embrace ... a friend decided it was mother and child ... and boyfriend thought perhaps it was father and family ... the responses seemed more reflections of the viewers themselves, than the artists intentions ... but when i read this I decided perhaps all three were also able to fit into the later category.

Plate 3.0: Tiny bug crawls across very large sculpture

front à compli

a front is done ... yipee ... inspired by the feather and fan in brooklyn tweed's hemlock ring blanket ... now for the back ... it has a whole lot more feather and fan from the bottom up ... you'll see ... update following soon ... i hope

at the covent garden harvest festival yesterday ... the covent garden big draw was on also ... hence the gorgeous illustration on the easel

progress shot II

i went to borough markets today ... we were running out of parmigiano reggiano! i love it there ... i found these borlotti beans ... i swear i didn't paint them like that ... honest
... also ... a progress shot on the remedy top

miss you

finally getting on to creating the "miss you" quilts for my nieces/nephew ... i printed the fabric on my course with Joanna Kinnersly-Taylor in July.

lift off

"we have a pattern, captain" ... i traced around a favourite tshirt of mine ... did a few tension squares ... some serious computing ... and i now have a pattern written up ... now lets see if its any good!! ... to be continued ...

sage remedy

i bought some wool at purl soho while i was in New York recently ... its a delicious lorna's lace fisherman yarn in a hand-dyed sage colour. i absolutely love it and have been obsessing over what i am going to make out of the two skeins i bought ... this is what i have come up with ... a wee winter top with inserts of feather and fan stitch at the front and back ... now to make a pattern ... hmmm

Autumn

back in London and the leaves are turning
