Yay my colour palette has changed from reds to blue it must be getting warmer.....perhaps I am the textile equivalent of the little weather houses where the little man or woman comes out depending if it's wet or dry.......x
These are rich and compelling pieces. For some reason the blue feels especially warm and inviting, a quality that I usually associate with the warmer colors like red. Perhaps it's the purple hearts!
Thanks Hannah and Lynn yes I resisted the temptation to add a 'pop' of orange it took all my might not to ..but I agree they have a warm quality they are a little more sparkly in real life ........x
Hi Anne thanks for the comment but I was aware recently that all my cards were on the red orange side of the colour wheel and I thought that maybe subconsciously (thats not right spelling surely?)I was choosing the 'warms to warm myself up then in Summer I would choose the 'cools' to cool myself ...mmmm just a theory...xx

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 .....
I loved enlarging these and seeing the textures up close! Can almost feel the velvet. Very pretty work.

ReplyDeletethanks for the tip, Lynn.......seeing them up close makes them even more lovely! those velvet hearts!! (swoon)
ReplyDeleteI would have thought using reds and yellows would be easier in warmer weather and blues in the winter.......but am probably missing the point
