Yesterday I began a new work featuring glass beads, which will be small enough to fit the conditions of the 4th International Salon of Glass and Textile, Thye call for entries is currently open, and I hope to be selected for this time, too. The exhibition will be in Santiago de Chile next year.
It feels good to have settled on an idea and started. Yesterday I spent several hours threading approx 15cm lengths of silver glass beads which I plan to hand stitch down onto the machine stiched grid lines – and then I’ll probably remove that stitching/basting, I mean learning by doing, right? as I’ve no idea how it will look !
It is only a very small piece, max 25cm, so whatever I place on those spaces will need to be small, and I’m thinking possibly in the same style of thing as these earlier Out of Order works:
So back to the project. I’ll post a pic of the completed project when the outcome of the selection process is known.
