Here is my latest blind drawing, a self-portrait drawn on April Fool’s Day (probably apt). In lieu of having a mirror to draw with I used the ‘reverse’ camera function on my tablet.

A4 Project #13, a bit delayed
I finished this piece several weeks ago, but in the interim I’ve been side-tracked making work for an upcoming exhibition.
I found a breathing space today to scan this piece, which has generated some new ideas for work. The tag on the base fabric, cut from a pair of jeans inspired me to focus on stitching words. Some were stitched over newspaper headings and the section of straight lines was stitched over a page from a novel, “Nurse in the Orient”, (which we got from Tiny’s Green Shed, with a view to re-using the cover for a book of our own handmade paper).
The biggest challenge was removing the paper after I’d stitched over it without pulling out all the threads.
Another quick draw
This drawing took less time than expected, due to the sudden arrival of a group of hot air balloons over our house (afloat of balloons?).
Everything was literally dropped as one of the balloons landed at the end of our street.
A Quick Draw
As I’m finding out drawing on my new ‘phablet’ is a bit harder than I imagined. It’s OK if I can draw on a solid surface, but it can be awkward when holding it in my hand. Here is my latest S Note drawing.
