Day 51

Day 52

 

I thought it was time to show you some pictures of my hand piecing project. I was planning on just having random colours together but now that I am planning how the sections will go together I am starting to plan the random! It will still look random once its finished but I will be happier with it.

Half way to 100

 

Much better using plain fabric.

 

 

Day 49

Faces are still going! not many good ones at this stage I would say but lots of creative energy which is the whole point. Half way tomorrow.

Day 48

Not a great face today, should have used plain fabric I think, almost did another one but that's not the point! so this one got stitched down. Will work on this idea, almost like a stencil.

Day 47

Day 47

 

 

I have started writing my book, I have told you all now so I have to carry on! I have had a talk to a New Zealand publisher and they were great. The plan is to have a book full of projects based on people, faces, bodies etc. from beginner projects up to more advanced. I am going to include blackwork and long and short as well as surface embroidery stitches and a bit of applique. Really excited now that I have spoken to a publisher and found out whet they need and how the whole system works. It will take a while but at least I am starting, I will let you know how it is going but of course I can't put images up here that will end up in the book, I am sure to be doing other things along the way so there will still be stuff to look at and I still have 53 days of the 100 days to go.

Day 46

Almost halfway!

Day 42

Just lips today.

 

 

I lovely lady that I taught years ago came to the Craft show and took these pictures of me stitching on the stand, with my gold Dr. Martens of course. I think there was more interest in the boots some days than my stitching!

Day 41

 

I really like these broken up faces, need to do some more of those. I still have plenty of time to play! 59 days!

day 40

Day 40 today, I have tried another single line face today, looks OK. I did this without drawing the face first, just started to stitch.

 

These are K's drawings from the last few days, he is doing so well at doing a drawing every day, he is only 8.

Day 38

Day 37

I wonder if faces have to always be in the right order?

Day 36

Day 35

Not much time today so a fast face. Starting to get a bit more abstract which I like. My brain is starting to feel a bit more creative so just need to make some more time.

Day 34

I wondered how long it would take before I did a skulls face. Now I have ideas for lots of skull faces!

Day 33

Day 33

 

These are the drawings my son did while I was away for his 100 day project

Day 32 Back from Hamilton

Having spent 4 days stitching at the Hamilton quilt and craft fair I am back in my studio and back down to work. I had a great time and met some really cool people. Lots of interest in hand embroidery which is fantastic so lets hope the interest grows and grows.
I spent lots of time talking and sent a few people off to start a 100 day project.
