Thank you Connie Rose and Tattoo inspired stitching
Some dye samples done today after being inspired by Constance Rose Progressive Textiles ....I used dye and brusho powders ......( Not anything like Constance Rose's work but I'll keep trying !!!)... Thought I'd include some Yr 9 cushion projects ( 14 yr olds)based on tattoos and Day of the Dead sugar skulls ........the GCSE Textile exam has been going on over the last two days so will show you some final pieces tomorrow
hi Jennie yes they are great aren't they ...they drew lots of tattoos first then developed the ideas the design will be a strip across the cushion.....my dyeing is not so great though I am just a novice ...he he ...x
The fabrics have this soft watercolor quality. Nice.....your students are really something, you must be a pretty darn good teacher too! Brilliant work...

I am a qualified Textile Teacher but now I am lucky enough to follow my dream being a full time Textile Artist and I love every minute I spend creating in my studio at The West Wing. I am passionate about textiles and am privileged to share my skills with others.
I run workshops for schools, colleges and groups.
I work 1 to 1 with individuals who might want help with basic sewing or more advanced techniques.
Commissions are always welcome please get in touch with me to discuss your requirements. No textile job is too small .....:)
I sell my work through Etsy and you can find me on Facebook at Artymess Textile Art ...come and say hello.
Thanks for taking the time to have a glimpse at my world.

Come and visit my other blog ArtyMaker..I have been lucky enough, along with 8 other Textile artists to take part in The Enliven Project....a project organised by Eastleigh Borough Council....which means that we are working as artists in residence in local Charity shops ...we will create an outfit out of goodies we find in our allocated shop which will be put on display for a month. The outfit will then be featured in the Eastleigh music Festival weekend in July
Here is the facebook page ..with lots of pics .....
Love the dying Lorna and the creavtiveness of these youngsters is just great......love the Anchor.
