Sue painting and preparing.


Sue continues her journey with painting ,venturing into water mixable oils and exploring adding people to the scene.



She had also taken out suggestions and stitched out some of her local scenes in black and white.



Some watercolour depicting trees,looking very realistic.





Some preparation for her kinoptic pieces .You should come and view them in Centrespace 18-23 October.



In October she had been working on the above .A view near the Severn Bridge taken as part of a Sally Tyrie Fibre Arts Take Two course. She had it printed and has added lots of stitch,both hand and machine.


Her latest painting adventure  has seen  an exploration of acrylic paint. Sue wasn’t that happy but we think they are just great for a first attempt.


She was much happier returning to watercolours with these two.

Kirsten’s September show and tell.


Kirsten has enrolled in a Fibre Arts Take Two course


Her tutor is Anne Kellyand the course is Collections and Cloth


It suits Kirsten as she has lots of collections and can put them to good use .


She loves to draw and depict them in stitch ,as well as paper clay.


Her illustrations capture subtle detail.



Her workbook pages contain so much intricate and interesting detail they are lovely to explore.
                



Meanwhile she had put some of her work for HiddenGems into frames.


We hope you will come and see them for yourselves.

 

September/October.


Janis and Jenn both interpreted the ‘book title ‘ prompt from August .
Jenn’s above was ‘Gone with the Wind ‘by Margaret Mitchell and below Janis took ‘Catch 22’ by Joseph Heller.
Would you have guessed correctly ?





I expect you’ll recognise this next set of work .Of course it’s Fumi ‘s.


Some colourful origami ,which is also on our flyer for Centrespace starting on Saturday 18th October.


We thought it could be printed commercially and be made into a delicious luxurious scarf.





Some tiny delicate crochet seaweed in strings and in tiny shells.


Native flowers displayed on slate from the Lake District .
Eternally linked to Wordsworth and his poem ‘I wandered lonely as a cloud




Lots more  origami pigeons ,in matchboxes of the seasons





Flying free in a mobile .



In October she has worked on some Autumn leaves beautifully stitched and edged with tiny beads .She was pondering how best to display them .We wondered about suspended on a branch ?


Her ‘Pearl’ piece is ready for stretching on canvas .Such beautiful even stitches one for each day of 
Thirty years.A real labour of love.


Some of her pigeons have been displayed as if flying across a blustery Autumn sky with billows 
of leaves flying into the air too .
