Had a hard end to last week in my head! very lost with the direction of my work, all felt to bitty for my liking. Ive had a few 'off the wall' ideas which Ive noted down and that fired me up a little but still current things felt lost! UNTIL I returned to what I love best of all,
British garden birds! a poster in my sons room reminded me to re focus on whats right under my nose, my embroideries with birds have so much more potenial and there so much more to try out ! and now of course I have an ever growing supply of naturally dyed bits of silk and cotton! put 2 & 2 together and you get garden birds ( if your me!)
I plan to make all of the common british garden birds and maybe a few summer visitors.
At the moment they arent framed, Ive stretched them in hoops and that looks good but I would like to play with framing them in other ways and see if I can make a coherent series from them! maybe to try and show somewhere? maybe not. I also like the idea of a huge flock piece ? so we will see.
but the fire is back in my belly so I'd better just keep on !!
