...but if there are any to show, then this is the day of the week when they'll appear!
I've started a new one for this year's "Very Special Project"....
...and I think I may as well spill the beans on what it is.
It's been a while since I did a LARGE body of work. 2008-9 actually.
That was for a series of solo exhibitions where most of the pieces sold.
I kept three of the larger panels, and these are the ones I've been putting up on the wall of my stand at shows over the last couple of years.
Well.....it's high time for something new...
...and....after some negotiations...I shall be having a "Designer Stand" at the Knitting & Stitching Show in Harrogate this year, where a WHOLE NEW body of work will be on display.
Title?
"Magic"
Why?
...because I shall be focussing on the magical elements in tribal embroidery....
Symbols and their meanings. Why certain colours feature so prominently. .....etc.
It's not just the actual pieces that I'm working on now though...
..there'll be a book too....
"Stitching Magic"
...which will be a pictorial and written account of the journey....with lots of photos and info....
My sketchbooks and lots of pieces of original tribal embroidery will be on the stand.....and I'm planning some workshops...
I'll try to show as much as I can here, but, obviously, there are some things that have to stay out of public view until the book hits the stand :-o
There may be some strange camera angles happening.....
Comments and opinions will be MOST appreciated!! :-))
