I've just spent a wonderful day in workshop with textile artist Cas Holmes It was part of Kent County Council Arts Development Countywide Migration Project and I was there thanks to the Sevenoaks branch of the EG. We made a mixed media piece where we worked backward, doing the stitching first and then adding the other media. Fascinating and great fun, the theme was journeys either personal or actual. This was my piece after my stitching
In my dreams my Senior Bus pass can take me......
and this is it at the end.
Nowhere near as beautiful as Cas' work but you did get a great taste of all kinds of new possibilities. She was very generous in sharing her techniques. A good day.
Posting delayed because blogger was being awkward with photographs!!!
Now to get to grips with TAST stitch Oyster, another new, to me, one.

Lucky you Pat. I liked the piece in the first photo as well as the second when you had actually finished it.
