The result is that I came home very poor but happy and today I can hardly put one foot in front of the other! :-)<br />
Because I knew I had a lot of walking to do I didn't take my 'proper' camera with me, but decided to manage with my phone camera. In truth, I am a bit ashamed of some of these photos but at a big exhibition it's always a problem taking shots while being jostled by the crowd and of course, as I had my wheeled walker with me, I was holding people up. I bet people were glad when I left!<br />
I have decided to show my eclectic mix of photos for those who can't get there to see the wonderful work on show. <br />
Where I know the artist's nme I have added it and I apologise to those whose names are omitted.<br />
<br />
The first two were on the 4 x 4 group's stand<br />

This week I went over to Wyboston in Bedfordshire to a Designbytes (local group of the Computer Textile Design Group) meeting at my friend Joan Brass's home and found these lovely flowers in her garden. I particularly loved the dahlias, which to me speak of this time of the year.<br />

I decided to stick with one motif for the whole session and chose to work with a pear.<br />
Then this was used for various techniques. Firstly I drew and cut out a pear shape in paper and screened with the stencil or with the cut out pear or a combination. We tried layering in different ways. Drew directly on the screen with charcoal and then screened that. Finally I stencilled the motif several times on the bottom of a cotton drill apron. <br />
These are all now heat set and waiting for stitching to be added.... I will blog about those later.<br />
meantime here is a selection of the work from everyone while it was drying on the line outside.<br />

Most there were pretty much beginners and I haven't really done nay since well before I moved house three years ago. So it felt good to get back to the beginning and I need to get much more practice to catch up again. <br />
It was not relaly possible to take pictures whie we were all working but here is a small selection right at the end when we had a show and tell.<br />
They are all vaguely landscapes and mine was inspired but a poto of bulb fields. <br />
Lots more work needed on them though.<br />

So I bouhgt four wooden book boxes from the Craft Barn and sent two to her and kept two.<br />
The idea was that we could practice on one and then send the other on, so we each ended up with two.<br />
I had a lovely surprise one day when the Postie brought me Pat's contibution. Here are some shots I took of it. In the draw are some beaytiful ATC's<br />
I am highly delighted with it and now I have to get on and finish mine. I know what I want to do but I have to manufacture some time first!<br />

I had completed the red dress before I put it aside for a new interest (as is my wont! ) and she has now completed it for me. Isn't she beautiful?<br />
The design is called Celtic Christmas.<br />
Here she is all framed and with a detail......<br />

They took far too long to sort out.<br />Now I can get back to my various classes and catch up. One of these is the iPad classes on http://www.cre8it.com which I am finding very good indeed. In fact I am posting this from it now but the class is mainly all about using it for art work. I'm not very good at it yet but it is fun learning.<br />I will also be starting back at the Bramble Patch next week where I am taking a mixed media class with Angie Hughes.<br />So lots of interesting new things to learn.<br />I' be back with some pictures later.<br /> <br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />dorothypandorasboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01017843814164632335noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878403083739832320.post-76113119050303841092012-07-15T18:10:00.001+01:002012-07-15T18:10:22.529+01:00Just testingJust trying out Blogpress<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/07/15/2147.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/07/15/s_2147.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br /><p class='blogpress_location'>Location:<a href='http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Leicestershire&z=10'>Leicestershire</a></p>dorothypandorasboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01017843814164632335noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878403083739832320.post-75554683872867241002012-06-26T11:03:00.001+01:002012-06-26T11:03:37.164+01:00TestingHi There,

<br />
Well today has been a day of fun and frolics in the garden for the birds. <br />
I decided I really need three cameras in this house, one for the kitchen one for the lounge and one in the study because whenever there is action in the garden, the camera is always in the other room! :-)<br />
It rained incessantly all day yesterday so I didn't go out to replenish the feeders but my goodness... how they made up for it today<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">After I filled the bird feeders I went and sat at my desk near the window with the camera beside me so that I could see who came. After a while I saw gold finches, green finches, woodpecker, sparrows, blue tits, pigeon and a little wren.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It was fun watching them all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Here are some pictures for you.</span><br />

<h2>
Stitching at Frolesworth.</h2>
<br />
I have had a great day out today stitching informally with like minded friends from the Lutterworth Branch of the Embroiderers' Guild. We met in the village hall at Frolesworth which is really close to where I live and sat happily stitching on whatever we felt like. <br />
There was some lovely work going on and the ladies were happy to let me share it with you. For some it was a day for experimentation and for others a chance to work on UFO's. <br />
So here are some photos for you. They are all works in progress of course.<br />
<br />
The first two are abstract embellishing samples.<br />

The last one is mine and has been in the works for a long time... with a house move, illness and cataract surgery interupting progress here! The hand stitching is now complete and I just have to decide how to mount it. I can't decide whether to add a border and make it into a little hanging. or whether I shall mount it on a canvas board.</div>

Here are some pictures of some unfinished book pages.<br />
I haven't yet decided where to go next with these.<br />
<br />
It was fun using a limited colour palette just black and white at this stage. I used gesso, white paint, graphite and black ink. <br />
<br />
As usual, clicking on the image will enlarge them.<br />
