The purpose of this blog is to share what I am doing as an artist, both successes and failures, and to act as a tutorial. Events and anything else related to textiles and art will be covered as well; plus life with all its vagaries.

Line of fire...
This week I have added some rifles to my latest piece. I searched the Internet for a simple recognisable outline and then made two lino cuts, one for each direction.
The test run on a scrap of fabric. I have re-painted the bottom rifle to get a better definition.
Positioning and masking up the areas to be printed. The right hand prints are my test sample. Lino cuts resting above the areas to be printed.
I am an artist working with dyes and textile pigments on cloth. Many textile and painting applications are applied to achieve each piece. I express my interest in universal social and environmental conditions as themes for my work. Telling a story is paramount.
