What's on my workdesk today.......
I am still working on my embroidery course but I've also signed up to do a year long online course called 21 SECRETS. Its art based and 21 teachers run a different class. You pick and choose which ones you do and how many.
This is the first one I did. The brief was to create a sketchbook/journal using fabric and to include words on the front cover in stitch. I am using it to sketch ideas for embroidery like the teacup and saucer I have drawn and then I made an embroidered piece using an old traycloth, lace and fabric.
I made another little book for a dear friend of mine. Hope she likes it.
My second class was to use the inside of old envelopes to draw on and then collage into your own sketchbook. I made a book out of some envelopes first.
In it I am sticking pieces of textile art and postcards of other artists work. I will be adding drawings of my own and some embroidery pieces.
So even though I am not working on my embroidery I am sticking with the theme. I seem to have a problem with going off at a tangent all the time.
Have a look at some more desks now and see what work others are doing.

How many courses can one woman do at once....
Oh quite a few really, its a well known fact that women can multitask.
So here's what I am doing. This is the art book I produced for the first of the lessons on the course 21 SECRETS. The course is so called as there are 21 teachers who all teach a lesson (online) in different aspects of art.
The task was to make a journal including stitched words on the front.

| 21 Secrets & Alchemy |
I then decided to do a page of it to link to another course I am doing called ALCHEMY, where you design and plan a piece using stitch. The idea came from a piece of work I have from textile artist HELEN MCKENNA.

I am also doing an online course called EMBROIDER, EMBELLISH CREATE with
where we are making a wrapping cloth. Instead of one large cloth I am going to do a series of small ones.

This is some more of my stitching from Alchemy.

I am really enjoying learning to embroider and now that I can bring art into it, its doubly exciting.

No I don't bother with housework, only when I know visitors are coming.
There is always a cake at the ready though.
