Spectrum Or Playschool?

Yesterday I went to a Spectrum meeting, the last one before our exhibition. Some details were finalised and then Gina let us have it.........mmm. She unveiled her plan of action for the rest of the year and it involves drawing ggrrr.
The first step was to paint a journey which could be imaginary onto lining paper using just black paint and different widths of paint brushes. My journey was from home to work but I got a bit lost on the way, never mind. (What's new!NLW)

Then we had to fill in all the spaces with other marks or patterns.




On this picture if you look closely at the bottom you can see where Ann and I played noughts and crosses.


We have got to continue working on this at home. The next step is to isolate areas, transfer them to our sketch books and then play with them. Next we need to  make stitched samples using any technique we like but still only in black and white. At this point I may have screwed my nose up just slightly but Gill saw me and she suddenly turned into the class snitch  and got me into trouble. All I was doing was imagining my sampler with a bit of red. I'd better do my homework if I want to stay out of trouble.



At least my cards are colourful, these are some more that I've made for our sales table at the exhibition. We are going to have a great sales table looking at all the things we have made.

Up And Coming


We are having an exhibition and you are invited. There will be some great work on show. We have worked really hard to achieve this with the help of Gina . If you are able to visit please do leave a comment  in the visitors book, your comments will be much appreciated.

Look what my lovely husband bought me. The book is great I love his use of colour (Hockney's, not mine says Neil!) , so vibrant and energetic. We have got tickets to go and see his exhibition on the 5th March.
 

I've had the embellisher out again and made some cards to sell at our exhibition. I should do more with my embellisher but I never seem to have any ideas what to make which is a shame. Once I get started I enjoy it. 


I did start to quilt my star quilt but wasn't at all happy with it so I unpicked it and now I'm waiting for inspiration to strike, that could be some time!
