Haven't done anything in the studio since my last blog post - in November.... Had a couple of surgeries for Melanoma, but I'm now back - and the Melanoma is GONE, GONE !!
And we have another Masters Seminar coming up - 16 April - where I need to create 2 new pieces of work... so I'm kind of in a hurry ;)
Was in studio for the first time this week - and the idea I've got is to continue my work with hessian - as I love working with the rough surface. I'll then incorporate some more of my 'domesticated' materials like; fabric, buttons, wool, etc.
Here's my first test. First I had to iron the hessian - which is not an easy job... and then I had to test how much binder to use. And then - I had to let it dry - which is the difficult part, as I haven't got the patience for that!

So now I'm really excited to see what it looks like when I get it off the floor !! More to follow!
