It has been a busy few days. Jim and I have been entertaining an old friend from Australia, who used to belong to the same swimming club.
I have been working diligently on photoshop and my mood has consequently been fast cycling between despair at my lack of skills and euphoria because I think my ideas are quite good. Today I collected a couple of trial circular tea towels, steamed, dried and ironed them, ready for edging, stitching and working out how they might be staged. I also spent hours preparing non standard fabrics for the digital printer. I created a soda ash solution, soaked 2m roller towel fabric and dried it. I also queued a couple of pieces of footstool fabric for digital print. These should be ready for next Monday. Tomorrow we entertain our Aussie friend, then Jim drives her to Scotland, which means I don't have access to the car until Monday. Therefore I needed fabric to work on until then. I will also have a trip to Colchester to see about upholstery materials at Franklins.
No wonder I am dog tired. Photos of work to follow.
