Jenn has continued to create tags for the '52 Tags ' instagram challenge . Some come quite easily and others are a bit of a struggle to complete .She hopes to keep going.These are the latest kisses ,a bevy of buttons ,hexies ,bullion stitch and french knots ,bits and pieces.
On her mostly daily walks she tries to collect something natural to bring home to draw.
These quick drawings have given lots of pleasure over the weeks and are building into a collection of ideas.Taking inspiration from things collected she has been hand stitching small tag size pieces .
The backgrounds are pieced from hand dyed silk sari ribbon, organza,lace and silks.
A background she created some months ago is now being picked up and worked into with straight stitches.She has an idea to eventually use the drawings to create gum arabic prints on the background
before adding stitch.Time will tell but then we seem to have a lot of it just now.
