\"\"<\/a> I learned a lot from the previous new work I posted, including that it is best to do the burning for what I have in mind when the sheer is actually attached to the underlying layers.<\/p>\n

Also I learned that despite all care, occasionally a bit of burnt nylon is spotted onto the underlying fabric, but these lettle dots can be flicked off with the point of a needle once they harden.<\/p>\n

In this small section of a current work I just had to do a few quilting lines and some of poking about with the wood burning tool and get a pic up, partly for my own record but also partly to try out a new camera I obtained by cashing a large number of customer reward points at our local supermarket – better even than duty free wouldn’t you say? With several more megapixels than my previous one, and more bells and whistles, I think we’re going to get along just fine; one thing I like is a feature that compensates for a shaking hand – I don’t think this is aimed just at seniors – I think it is a great feature most of us could do with from time to time especially if taking a snap from a moving vehicle, stuff like that. My camera needs are not very sophisticated, I just need to be able to take people pics, occasional touristy ‘been there’ pics, pics of textures anywhere that grab my attention, and pics of interesting textiles incuding close-ups of fine detail. I do have major pieces photographed professionally, rather than cart lighting and other props around in my peripatetic life, however.<\/p>\n

This new work brings together several things I want to tackle – like unbound or very non-traditional edges<\/em><\/span> , as I feel that in a way my love of a finely bound or faced edge has in fact been limiting what I am prepared to consider inside the shape,there is no point behaving freely inside a tight, neat box<\/em><\/span>. Perhaps that is a principle I could examine further out in practical parts of Life, like wearing purple etc \ud83d\ude42 but I digress.<\/p>\n

I had been fiddling around with making holes in sheers<\/em><\/span>, feeling I wanted to work more with them – the ephemeral quality<\/em><\/span> having great potential for expressing thoughts on decay, just as punched leather does. In combination I think they are very interesting. <\/p>\n
