Almost there....

More tweaking on my piece this week. I have it hanging in my studio and it is looking good. I find I am contemplating the finishing/mounting etc which means I must be almost there. Have been considering a colour to paint the surrounding mount and am favouring a navy blue which seems to suit colours in the piece. I have been placing the painted test corner on each corner at different times to see how it works.

Another detail....

Expressions Gallery in Upper Hutt is well worth a visit at the moment. Pinestream Quilters have their biennial exhibition, and world-renown Yoshiko Wada, textile and shibori expert, has kimonos from her own collection on display. Accompanying these is an exhibition of Metsuke, Buttons and Collars. Yoshiko gave a very interesting gallery talk yesterday to a well attended audience. She is currently tutoring a workshop at Whitireia Community Polytechnic, Porirua. Great to see such events happening in our area.
