Some More Prism

Just a few more pictures from the exhibition. Sorry if you're getting bored with all these pictures but they are worth looking at.

Beech Tree 1-1V by Maria Laughlin.

I love these line drawings with stitch. This is something that Gina has been encouraging us to do as part of our work at Spectrum and I have to say the more I look at this kind of work and the more I do it, I'm liking it more and more.

View From Above by Amanda Hislop.

Regeneration by Gina Ferrari.

I do have some more pictures to  show you but there is quite a few and they are all of one piece of work so I will show you them next time I post and some of the things I have been doing.

Sorry

I'm sorry I've been absent again. I have tried to blog on quite a few occasions but have been unsuccessful. I have been trying to do this post for three days.

A couple of weeks ago Neil and I went to the Mall Galleries for the Prism exihibition and we weren't disappointed - it was much better than last year. I took lots of pictures which I will share with you over the next few posts. I can't put them all on at once blogger won't let me.

Leaves and Plate by Dorothy Tucker.

Plants and Leaves by Dorothy Tucker.

Flying Jewels by Anita Bruce. Anita is a local artist and is taking part in Peterborough Artists Open Studios . I have seen Anita's work before but this is the best I've seen. It's lovely and colourful and the shadows are pretty as well.

Sanctuary by Fiona Rainford. I love this piece it's so textural.

All Patched Up by Debbie Williams. Such a fun piece.

I am sorry for my absence and I'm grateful to those who have asked after me. I don't get many comments on my blog so it always surprises me how many people do read it and ask why I haven't blogged for a while. I've been poorly again, all over bank holiday weekend. I managed to stick it out until Wednesday when the doctors re-opened. He prescribed another course of antibiotics but they didn't seem to help and I ended up in hospital on Friday morning and didn't get out until the Sunday evening. Still none the wiser as to the problem although they do suspect a couple of problems and I have to go back for tests. So still a case of wait and see.

On a much happier note our second grandchild is expected tomorrow. It is going to be a cesarean delivery as baby is a footling breech. The parents have been very un co-operative and haven't asked to be told the sex of the baby so after work I am off to Next to buy outfits in blue and pink and I will take back the one I don't need. Also Anthony and Nicki are expecting another baby, October/November time. So Christmas time is going to be busy in our house, I can't wait.

150th

On Thursday Neil and I went to the Mall Galleries London to see the Prism exhibition. As usual there was some stunning work. I did take some photos, but no paper and pen to make notes and record who had done which piece of work. Very remiss of me. I did try to buy a pen but they didn't sell them and didn't offer to lend me one. Anyway I will share a few of the pictures with you.

Just look at these seagulls. I was worried that this picture wasn't going to come out very well but it's OK you can  see them very clearly.This is a lovely pieceof felted work by Ali Brown.

One day I'm going to have a go at making felted pebbles. These ones are very textural which doesn't come across in the picture but I thought they would act as my inspiration for when I have the time. The pebbles are the work of Davida Macdonald  and the picture in the programme is far better than mine.

The next two pictures really don't do this piece of work justice. The colours were much brighter and the work is very detailed. The other thing you don't get is an idea of the size of this piece. It's  by Heather Hunter
and my guess is that she had a sore neck and shoulders whilst working on it.

This work is by Julieanne Long and I really liked the way she has used the cable clips.

Of course I'm sure you all know whos work this is..... Gina Ferrari. A lovely piece of work made using lace  and snippets of printed text.

This is my 150th post, so carrying on with blogger tradition it's time for a giveaway. So I made a small bag/large pencil case, we call them a carry-it-all. When we go some where and can take hand sewing with us it usually all fits in one of these.

Of course no giveaway would be complete without chocolate. To enter the giveaway all you have to do is leave me a message by Tuesday morning and your name will go into a draw. Good luck.

Remember my red square from Gina's challenge? Next week we've got our monthly meeting of Spectrum and this square is supposed to be mounted but it's not. To make things worse I should also have an orange square to take to next weeks meeting mmm.........

I'm now going to start mounting the square and hopefully this will be finished today.
