Voyage: Piece 1 - the process continues

2013 Moving forward

Moving forward..........

The intention of the theme in 2012 was to allow individuals to develop their work freely from whatever point they were currently at –without constraint but with a light touch framework to work within. It was hoped (and it proved to be the case!) that the theme helped us communicate with each other something about ourselves through our work and our intentions.

Moving forward into 2013 from this starting point we are choosing to work individually over the year on a series of work of our own choosing whether that series be related to a specific theme or process or design approach.

As in 2012 every two months a piece of work will be produced, starting January 2013. Size of the work for 2013 will be A3 (30x42 cm approx or 12x17inches) either portrait or landscape.

Piece 1 - the process continues

As I stated in my first post for this year on Jan. 5, my theme for 2013 is Up Close An Personal. And I found out that these are called MACRO photos. I also posted the first step in my process on this first piece.

Now, I have step 2 completed. I cut away and reversed appliqued several areas to get the effect I wanted. The next step is to do some embroidery and then the binding to complete the piece.

I've chosen to do it kind of like a challenge in a GAMES magazine I used to get. Very up close views of common things and you had to guess what they were. Some were easy - others were more difficult. So when each piece is finished, I'll post it and then the next day post my photograph that is was taken from. Don't know if you all will enjoy the "game" or not...but it keeps me from getting bored!!
