I've neglected my poor blog for far too long. Although It's not quite New Year yet I resolve to visit here more often and share/record the work I am doing.
Most of the year has been taken up with things to do with the Embroiderers Guild - I am the classes co-coordinator for the Geelong branch and that keeps me on my toes.
It also led me into the joys of doing subjects toward the Intermediate Certificate course - you choose at least 3 courses over a period of 5 years. Being me - wildly enthusiastically thrown myself into doing 2 subjects in 2011 and found that a tad too much.
I am still to finish my second subject - Stumpwork - although I am not the only student on our second extension of time. We are due to hand in on Jan 18th so now Christmas is over I'll need to get my skates on, so to speak.
Until I have time to sort out photos of my year's work I'll give you a taste of my insect piece for the Stumpwork. It is a very fancy coloured beetle with purple snakeskin abdomen and beady eyes!
I have yet to paint the box a darker colour to set him off better.
To see some other stumpwork have a look here or at my teacher - Alison Cole's site
