Sample Diary - September

I’m a bit late with this! But even the Ilkley Art Trail can’t stop me now, when I’ve got so far through the year. Each week a little textile doodle in response to a picture from the newspaper.

Week 35 – Space junk orbiting Earth

Paint spatters and cross stitch.

 

 

 

 

 

GD36

Week 36 – David Hockney’s Yorkshire tree paintings

Background of embellished felt/wool fibres, free machine embroidery.

Week 37 – New Dyson “Hot” fan heater

Week 38 – Protest against corruption in Brazilian politics

They planted hundreds of brooms on Copacabana beach! Great idea, would I have heard about it if they just had boring placards?

Head- and tail-lights.

Love those paper clips! And the space junk is really effective - just shows what can be done with one simple stitch.
