Mini Textiles

My entry into the IX Triennale Internationale des mini-textiles, whose theme was "With or Without Water" has been accepted. It will be shown at the Musees d'Angers, Angers, France from 26th June to 15th November. Weekend in the Loire Valley anyone?

Sara - for you.

Sara has just sent me some lovely textured surfaces made from grout and plaster - see her blog http://www.englishroseinkuwait.blogspot.com/. I've taken one image of the plaster on scrunched tissue through different 'image effects' in PaintShopPro. The results could be used as 2D texture as well as provide you with shapes for the 'shape study'. You could also take a small section and work from that. Ideas for everyone else working on the texture stage in Module 1 of the Diploma. Have fun.
