Textiles

This piece was made up for the 6 inch ring section of the Association's Exhibition but I did not think it was good enough and did not submit it. The problem is that the photo shows it lying down but when it is hung up, the centre pulls upwards and the centre of woven section is all distorted. You can see that the four arms  are not the same length. To cure it, I would have had to unpick the piece of braid and try again with no guarantee that I would get it any better second time around. Anyway by this time I had no time left!

This, on the other hand, is okay. It is made  up of pieces of ribbon from my stash mounted on a piece of spaced dyed cotton and with lots of machine embroidery on it. It is about 40 inches long and is going to made into a cushion cover. Some things do work!!

Tomorrow Rosie Price and I are going to the Bauhaus exhibition in the Barbican, London. Said to be the biggest exhibition of its kind for decades.
