On Friday I visited Stratford -Upon-Avon college and was made very welcome by the Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers.
I had been asked to do a talk about my work and it was a great opportunity for me to share my latest stitching, sketch book development and to enthuse about art textiles.
Luckily it's one subject that I am never lost for words!
This week it's half term so I have been experimenting with mono printing, here is one I did today based on some of my sketches.
I have used a water based ink which I have applied onto perspex using a small roller.
I then drew into the ink using cloth, cotton buds and a pencil, the next step is taking a piece of paper and then placing it on top, applying firm pressure and rubbing the paper evenly all over.
You then lift off your paper carefully and you should have a simple print!

wonderful to see what you are doing. To me this looks amazingly similar to your stitch art.
amazing...it looks beautiful!!!
Love your mono-print! xx
You were inspirational at the Guild. You have given me lots of ideas to experiment with in the new year (too many projects on the go right now to experiment!).
Wish I was closer for your exhibit and workshops--I'm sure they will be wonderful. Beautiful piece!
