Some of our group interpreted this last month's challenge of "Monochrome" as working in one colour, and others as working in black and white. But yet again, what a varied response! Here are some of the results.......
A few of these have already had mention on this blog, so we won't repeat things. The others are by some of the newer members to the group: someone working in her favoured palette, using skills recently picked up from Sue & Carolyn on collages; three little felt calves appliqued onto a raw edged patchwork background inspired by a workshop from the Somerset Textile artist Viv White; a lovely ethnic design using an embellisher and finished by adding handmade paper beads; Thermofax screen printed seedheads on another collage background of vintage fabrics with machine and hand embroidery and last but not least a glorious white snail in the bottom corner with machine embroidery using thick thread in the bobbin and trapunto techniques.
At this meeting established members brought along their finished challenges in preparation for the exhibition at Heartlands in September, WOW!! were we impressed.The work was so varied, inspirational and such a visual delight.
There are not many more monthly challenges now before our exhibition at Heartlands, and we are really beginning to focus on that, so lots of busy and exciting days ahead.
If you can come and see our work there you will not be disappointed. We are also fundraising for sewing machines to empower women less fortunate than ourselves in less developed countries, so please come along and support if you can.
Thanks for reading,
Debbie & Barbara
