fade

My camera has died so I'm showing you a multi tapestry I made a few years ago. Including the one in progress I have made four like this. Am just about to warp up the next piece for 'trace' and listen to the Archers omnibus!

I try to stick to talking about tapestry on this blog and avoid 'hellobirdshellotreeshellosky' syndrome. It's hard though when summer is as glorious as it is in this part of the world and most of your food is coming from the veg patch and kids are on holidays and doing the rounds of all the various pools, rivers and water butts (really) at their disposal.... there - I've had my 'hello birds' moment. I'll stop now!

Warb is having an online sale of some small paintings. See them here.

trace

The first two tapestries for another 9 part piece provisionally entitled trace or perhaps traces. I like these 'multi' tapestries. Small parts of a whole. It seems much more like how I actually experience things - small snapshots, fleeting images, random thoughts.
