Work in Progress

       I am working on my walk in the woods piecee and have got as far as puttingit together. It is coming along nicely and I hope to do some more printing and finish the background this week.In the pic below you can see the pinning out - hopefully I am changing the colour as it runs down. There will be some maps on the bottom and some Google earth views.




A new way of working with the individual printouts is shown below - sort of pintucking, I guess, to give added dimension.


A very short blog today because I have to leave soon to go to a funeral as my much loved cousin has died. I have been asked to put together a short address which has been something of a challenge as it is made up of snippets gathered from the family. He was a great teller of tales which became more elaborate as the years went on, so I am basing the piece on the story tellers who have been with us through the ages. I shall incorporate some of his stories (cleaned up a bit).  I think he'd like that. Here's to you Den, wherever you are I bet you've got an audience!

I love the pintucks idea for your new piece of work. They certainly add texture and dimension as well as looking a bit maplike.
Sorry to hear of the loss of your cousin. I'm sure the family will enjoy reviving happy memories through your address.
