All Stitched Up In Canada Bay

The exhibition opened yesterday .. a collection of works by embroiderers who are members of the Embroiderers' Guild NSW live in the municipal area of Canada Bay.  If you can come and visit - the exhibition is open library hours at Concord Library, 60 Flavelle Street, Concord NSW  til 30 October 2011.  Then it will be at Five Dock Library,Garfield Street, Five Dock from 3 November 2012 to 24 November 2011.

 

more on where does the time go?

Creative time has been consumed in the organisation of an exhibition - and it has become clear to me the amount of creative energy required just to get such things off the ground.  Anyway we are nearly there and the works will be hung on Tuesday 4.10.11 and the opening on 6.10.11.  Then it will al be over save for bump out and moving to next venue and a small amount of promotion for same - I hope.

In the interim I have been doodling to get some inspiration of same hand work:

And procrastinating about commencing some small machined panels which I have drafted but put off doing.

I have also spent some time framing memorabilia and photo collages.  Again taking time away from embroidery and depleting creative energy.   Will keep doodling, drawing and taking photos and try and fill the well!   The fighting fish in the tank near my computer is a collection of wonderful reds, blues and purples or reads black depending on angle and sunlight.  No doubt the colours and fin shapes will inspire something soon!
