On Sunday I went to The Whitworth Gallery on Oxford Road, Manchester.
Here's a link back to my blog post about it - LINK TO GALLERY VISIT
As a result of our visit I've been playing about with cards of buttons, looking at the reverse of them, as the artist Cornelia Parker did in her exhibition.
I've tea stained some cartridge paper and it looks like I am moving into the direction of making A5 size pieces of mixed media art which I will display on my craftroom wall and eventually make into a book.
Well thats the theory so far. The other exhibition we saw was Susan Hefum. Some of her pieces were created by layering up paper with script on, covering it with tracing paper then stitching into it. I've used greaseproof paper its just as good.
I'm stitching into these japanese fabric samples and referring to the Japanese sewing technique BORO.
Used to mend clothes in remote parts of Japan when resources were minimal and all their clothes had to be patched over and over and to pad out for warmth were layered up with hemp as the middle layer.
I don't know how far I will go with this. I'm just making it up as I go along.
Anyway I hope you have all had a creative week over at Julia's place.
Here's the link to check out some more desks.
