Dust sheets and more

You wouldn't think a simple dust sheet could hold so much potential but this weekend at Ammerdown we all stood around admiring the marks and possibilities for adding stitch.
Was I a 'Sat nav' person or a 'map reader/maker', i still don't know!

We were given postcard sized pieces cut from the dust sheet. We were encouraged to look at it and see where it took us in the ways of stitch and other embellishments. We also recorded our progress every few marks with photographs but i am just going to show the finished sample here.

i cut the sample into a square!

 i got carried away with colour! We were all so quite at least for an hour working at our pieces.

i made a second sample with cross stitch.
After we finished this challenge we all continued with our own work which hopefully will go towards a future exhibition.
i have been working with film rolls and the idea of images taken. How people take many shots of the same thing. My story is based on the 'Sheringham Shoal' the off shore wind farm.

working on tiny squares of Ramie fabric with graphite, tinting colours, stitch and pulling out threads i am deciding on the best way to join them.
