In spite of my top tips for a tidy house posting last month - 'things' went a bit awry in the spare room.... no guests at the moment - the spare room aka known as my 'Studio' looked like a bomb had gone off, a paint bomb mind you... it was riot of colour - fabric everywhere - Most of it loitering from the last college module when I just couldn't find the right combination and nothing worked!! This necessitated me to buy more fabric - which didn't work either - I went through all my old saved clothing items which are nice patterns - still nothing - then resorted to my paper/collage collection in case I could diversify - nothing was working which caused me great grief and just made an overwhelming mess - interestingly perseverance paid off and it all turned out well in the end - I worked on black velvet and cotton and used a lot of embellishment and got a good mark for the final outcome... There was also wool everywhere as I am considering knitting an Icelandic ...
