![]() I wish I was and didn’t, I love the clothes people make. I’m actually not an enthusiastic dressmaker, I actively dislike it. Other projects on the list include some dresses, tops and trousers I cut out ages ago, in an effort to be an enthusiastic dressmaker. I’ve also drawn out another new needlepoint in my enthusiasm, just to add to the project pile. And no I can’t get up at 6 am to fit it all in, that’s just inhuman. Just so you know I’m not really slacking. So I’ve estimated with the routines with the pink dumbbells and the daily walk that’s at least 1.5 hours away from work a day, but as it’s good for you, well it better be, I’m sticking with it. Well why not, it can’t just be eating bread, right? ![]() I’m an apple and that’s not a good shape, but mostly I’m blaming my vague pudginess on lowering oestrogen levels. This does work I’ve found, but bloody hell you have to put the time in. I decided before Christmas that I needed to be fitter and not fatter. One of the main reasons is that I have less time due to exercise. I have several projects on the go and a couple of new biggies I’m itching to get going with too. I’m suffering a little from project overload at the moment, combined with the fact that I don’t seem to have done quite as much work as I’d have liked to have done over the last few weeks. Thank you for reading or even just looking at the pictures! Keep making, be positive, do it. I love throwing, but sold my wheel ages ago, which I regret. I have no idea yet what I’ll do with them, but I get them out to have a look at every so often. A friend thinks it should be called A Fragile Tale, which I very much like. There are some tiny pages for a little bound book. There are 16 panels altogether, although clever bods will note that there are 18 here, mainly because some are repeated to fit in with Instagram squares, of course.Īnd to finish, below, some more porcelain bits and pieces, ready to be used in future mixed media projects, although the Moon has been appropriated by the Winter Book already. These came from a piece of work I’ve had on the wall of my workroom for ages. The book was actually finished earlier but I didn’t like it, so ripped all the textile bits off and started playing with the moths instead. There’s silver leaf too, some of which was advertised as edible I didn’t eat any during the making of this piece. Other textile added to the panels are digitally printed and stitched silk images taken from my collages and finished work. The textile additions are mainly moths, printed using iron on transfer sheets, with some stitch and beads. ![]() They are mostly about 12 -15 cm, 5-6 inches, designed to be hung, or shown flat. They were rolled out by hand and textured with various texture blocks I’ve made over the last couple of years. Some are made from or include black porcelain. The panels are high fired porcelain with copper carbonate and some clear glaze for those of you with an interest in ceramic processes. The Winter Book will be shown in an exhibition later in the year, and hopefully the Summer Book too. I have started a Summer Book now, which may well be finished in its actual season, which would be nice, and quite unusual for me. As predicted I’ve finished my porcelain and textile Winter Book in spring.
