Digital images on felt

The Sept course will make full use of digital images, though they won't be as depressing as these on my Climate Change Exhibit.I took them from newspaper footage about drought/famine.Hopefully our images for Sept will e full of sun and happiness!

The images can be seen in better detail in the exhibition catalogue which I think can be bought from the IFA website-www.feltmakers.com

The September course

It seems that I totally forgot to put more detail about this one on the blog-what an idiot!

This is an illustration of how I work with layers of digital images-often I will use a photo I have taken,scanned into the computer ,and then printed on Bubble Jet setted fabric.I actually use the printer to print the silk(silk chiffon works best ,firstly because it goes through the printer well and secondly, because it felts to the wool surface very easily.Sometimes I use recognisable images, as with the work I have currently in the CLIMATE IS CHANGING exhibition, touring the UK at the moment.Will find some pictures to add to the blog soon.

This picture shows the same technique, but the layers are slightly more recognisable.
I use Cyanotype images in much the same way, printing them on silk and then felting them to my surface.These can be created using natural objects, or negatives which we will make from photos of the region, or indeed, your own family photos.It all depends on what you want, and having an open mind.

lost e mail address

Like an idiot,I have deleted a recent enquiry about my French courses in the Lot valley which I received today and can't get the address back to reply.If you e mailed me for details,could you please re send the mail?
Thanks a lot.

New samples for the Pure white course

I have been working on my obsession with white for a few days-can't get it out of my system it seems!I love the fact that the lack of colour really concentrates the eye on the texture and there is no end to the wonderful effects that come from combining silk,wool and scrim.So simple,but very rewarding.

Very difficult to photograph white!
