I'm crocheting a twig.

Catherine was asked what she was doing and she replied 'I'm crocheting a Twig'. It seemed a natural thing to say in Textile Artists but it made us all laugh and Louise thought it would be a good title for this weeks blog entry.  This is her Autumnal piece. She made the leaves from material - before you ask if they are real.

Louise was getting messy again painting her pieces of lutrador. One is a stormy sea and the other is from the picture she took that morning of Harrow Harbour in the sunshine. She then soldered out pieces of shiny materials which she had in her stash and is building up a scene.






Dorothy had finished her 'Field of Silver' inspired by the Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn book and DVDs.  She said the hardest part was machine sewing together the sides as there were 3 layers on each side. Its beautiful.

Joan was getting out her paints after she had looked at her Homecoming Quilt panel. Caithness Quilters had been asked to participate in a Quilt that will be displayed in Inverness museum of art when its finished.

Ann has started a new panel and this is the first picture.
She has a finished piece of glasswork along to show the group which is beautiful.











Shirley has been busy again. She had her 3 sample couchwork piece.

And then the finished piece framed.

And in the background you can just see this. Her sampler of Neolithic symbols she is interested and knowledgeable.

And then she - I know, she mustn't sleep much - she had a piece of lutrador with embroidery and painting of a Caithness skyline.

And onto Celia who has finished this piece of embroidery which is exquisite.

 

She was busy French knotting a piece of tweed to depict the moss of the Flow Country.

The group has been busy.
