Thankyou Poppytalk and Mr X Stitch!

Poppytalk and Mr X Stitch both mentioned our exhibition on their lovely blogs. It's really nice to hear what other people have to say about our work-we're hoping to get all the work photographed on Sunday when we install, and then there'll be lots more images for you to look at if you can't actually make it along to the show. We'd love to hear what you think about it all!

Poppytalk also have a studio tour with Claire that they did last spring.

knitknitknit

I've been busy knitting alot, and still am for the show! These are some of the almost finished ones in my studio on monday! I've been knuckling down (and still am) so there should be quite a few more ready for the show!

we love badges

A sneak peek at badges currently in production for Calm Air All Ice.

The super lovely Chip-Fork has made a poster for our show, this is the almost completely finished version. I really like how it combines our work.

work in progress

I've been screen printing onto vintage hankies that came all the way from California, and then doing some basic x-stitch on the top of them. I want to go back and re-work the stitching on this one, but I also wanted to show that there's some work being made!

Today I spent the day screen printing onto paper- one of my top secret projects that I hope will turn out ok- it involves using multiple colours and making sure things are aligned well, which spells disaster pretty much.

Tomorrow i'm going back to print two more colours and see if I can start to pull everything together a bit - in four weeks time the show will nearly be over and we'll be on to thinking more about our next one later in the year.

I found this little treat for Claire yesterday whilst I was at the seaside (I live at the seaside, but yesterday I was actually on the beach), for some reason they were selling laminated place mats featuring 'Legends of the Air' and I couldn't resist picking one up for her.

Our work continues, but we both have to be careful not to get distracted by the news that we have lined up at least another two exhibitions for us- more details nearer the time.

formations

These are some of my planes in flight formations! It's a start - slowly my ideas are coming together - theres some more formations here
