A new bag. This is a circular backpack that I finally finished after starting it sometime in Autumn last year! It features red "scribbley" roses.

These are some recent pieces I made as samples for a bigger project I'm working on. It's been a long time since I actually used a sketchbook and made samples. I usually jump straight in to making the final piece so it's actually fun to experiment and make mistakes and feel free about making lots of little pieces.

Two pieces based on Kate Bush's song Hounds of Love.

"Hounds of Love"
Featuring ears eyes and noses and 2 mini textiles shoes

















"Two Steps on the Water"

It's in the trees!
It's coming!"

When I was a child:
Running in the night,
Afraid of what might be

Hiding in the dark,
Hiding in the street,
And of what was following me...

Now hounds of love are hunting
I've always been a coward,
And I don't know what's good for me.

(Well) Here I go!
It's coming for me through the trees.
Help me, someone!
Help me, please!

Take my shoes off,
And (i will) throw them in the lake,
And I'll be
Two steps on the water.

I found a fox
Caught by dogs.
He let me take him in my hands.

His little heart,
It beats so fast,
And I'm ashamed of running away

From nothing real--
I just can't deal with this,
But I'm still afraid to be there,

Among your hounds of love,
And feel your arms (surrounding) me.
I've always been a coward,
I never know what's good for me.

(well),here I go!
Don't let me go!
Hold me down!
It's coming for me through the trees.
Help me, darling
Help me, please!

Take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be
Two steps on the water.

I don't know what's good for me.
I don't know what's good for me.
I need your love love love love love, yeah!
Your love!

Take your shoes off
And throw them in the lake!

Do you know what I really need?
Do you know what I really need?
I need love love love love love, yeah!

This is my first "proper" traditional style landscape. It was an experiment to see if I could use my techniques to tackle a well-used subject. I'm thinking of making some much larger pieces now as it's often easier for me to work big and this piece was fairly small for me- around A3 size. I don't know why I've never sewn any landscapes before as I live in a beautiful part of the countryside.
This was based on a photo I took from a boat on the River Dart in Dartmouth, Devon.
