ATcs done for some swaps recently ...sorry I am back to my old camera phone some of you eagle eyes namely Kim and Jan noticed I had a new one recently (No line across)but it was far too advanced for me so I'm back to the devil I know ......x
These are great, that door one has a nice bit of extra. Did you print those words on cloth? I want to make some labels for the backs of my small wall hangings - scared the fabric might get stuck - was trying to explain it to my DH & he can't get past the idea of even printing on fabric ;)Just gotta try I guess.
I am in awe these are so beautiful...and frankly a little jealous I didn't think of an arched fold out like that. ha! :0) You do the most amazing work.
These are amazing as always. I love the opening arch. it's super duper even with lines across it! I haven't seen many pastely ones from you before. Very delicate and feminine. I have to say too that I love the way your postcards and ATC's FEEL! They have such tactile and sturdy feel and I must tell you that I don't just look at them. They are meant for touching- nylon, velvet and metallics...just ooooh xoxo Kim
Oh, the little triptychs are beautiful! All your work amazes me, Lorna, but the triptychs are very special. Thank you for sharing. Perhaps when you get that narrowboat, you'd allow me to dock a little dinghy nearby and just follow you around? ;~}
Emma what you do is buy freezer paper wich you cut into A4 pieces then iron a piece of cotton onto it and put it through an injet printer as you would a piece of paper....voila ....x Thank you Katie thats very kind of you to say so ......x Kim yes I try and get my students to understand about the FEEL of textiles as well as the visual ......i even have to touch pictures of stitching too just in case ....x Leslie I would love you to follow us round in your dinghy...what fun we'd have ....there are canals in Wales too ....x
Hi Lorna Just love these new ones especially the one with the opening doors. Really neat! Your work is always so textural and I love this. Thanks for lovely comment too on my blog!
Hello Lorna, These are beautiful, I just love the way you use colour and are coming up with some wonderful artwork. The atc's are just scrummy. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes, Jane C
Love that top piece. Re freezer paper: can I ask, does it give a nice soft print? Am asking because up till now I have used the iron on paper and gives a "plasticy" finish which I don't always want. Always nice to ask someone before purchasing some of these things since it is usually quite expensive..........
The gothic arch is to die for, such wonderful treasures to be found when you open the door. I think 'love' is an entirely appropriate word to describe it!
Loving the ATCs and I just love spotting that angel on the christmas stamp from a few years back. I'll be working your ATCs tonight and tomorrow. Popped over here now though as just spotted we're on the same fabric journal class with Carole in New Zealand! Small world :) Have a great day, love Sharon x

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.

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 .....
