Here are a few more in the City series, all completed this year. All the City series are deeply textured, and with a light fabric medium finish to protect the surface, not under glass.

City – a series
I have several new pieces of textile art in the series I called City, just going to the framers Craft Works, Gloucester Road, Bristol. These are mixed textiles, embellished, embroidered and stitched. These works are in box frames that are deeper and darker that shown here.

Witches Hat
This is an attempt to illustrate a song by the Incredible String Band,
it could do with a bit more work.
From Genius Lyrics
[Verse]
Certainly the children have seen them
In quiet places where the moss grows green
Coloured shells jangle together
The wind is cold, the year is old
The trees whisper together
And bend in the wind, they lean
[Refrain]
La la la la la, la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la, la la la la la
Next week, a monkey is coming to stay
[Chorus]
If I was a witches’ hat
Sitting on her head like a paraffin stove
I’d fly away and be a bat
Across the air, I would rove
Stepping like a tightrope walker
Putting one foot after another
Wearing black cherries for rings
It’s one of several I have tried including the linoprint Painting Box

Several of this series have gone to new homes. I am working on several more, some larger.

Keep Shopping!
This is an old theme but stands some repetition at the current time. Just a pic for social media.

Night Garden 1 (almost finished)
Almost finished, this piece has been hanging around for months waiting for some inspiration as to how to finish it. I tried adding a mouse but that didn’t work well. When in doubt, stitch, but now I’m afraid of wrecking what there is. The surface is rather fragile as it is mainly nunofelt with scraps of fabric below, all stitched and embellished.
One day later… I added a little more stitch, tried to reemphasise the cat but subtly then, deciding it was finished I added a backing. Next a gently wash then seal with very dilute pva. Then press and a frame of some sort.

More Cracks in the System
Trying to get into the groove again after doing very little for two months and not much for some time before that! This is on cheap A3 drawing pad paper but the next ones will be on oil pastel paper which has a textured surface. It’s a fast way to create an image but can be hard to cover any mistakes or unwanted marks.

One of the larger piece in the series I called City, but I’m not sure about the framing.
