I have been working- yay. I am working on a large sentinel piece, but am fighting a battle with a thread I am using and got annoyed with it so switched off the machine and will restart on it later this morning. I have a lot more ideas for these ladies.
A lot more stitching needs to go into place and I will perhaps do some foiling on the haloes.
I also hand stitched a small one ( 11x 19 inches) to see the contrast between hand stitching and machine stitching. The effects are a lot more subtle with hand stitching. But I do like both because of that contrast.
I have used colonial knots and running stitch.This piece is for sale- remember it's entirely hand stitched. It has been hand printed on hand dyed cotton. It measures 11 x 19 inches ( 28 x 47 cms) The price is $250US inclusive of shipping.
Don't forget - it's still possible to enrol for my on-line linocutting class. Simply email me. The cost is $55 US.Here is some information:
The start date will be 7 March. The course is 3 lessons ( with various exercises) delivered fortnightly with the intent of building your skills with the tools as well as your design skills, looking at how to use your photos,three colour printing and various other things like simple repeats, alphabets etc. The cost of the course is $55US. Lessons are delivered as a pdf file and number approximately 100 or so pages, with exercises and tips and inspirations. I also organise a discussion group to troubleshoot problems or discuss discoveries and to share work.

Your work is wonderful and I am sure it is time comsuming. Every effort shows in it's beauty!
I know all too well the feeling that I just have to switch off the machine if I'm not to throw it out the window..
This reminds me of the Aboriginal Wandjina figures from Western Australia. Watchers... or sentinels...
It is just beautiful. I feel so lucky to have seen it in person! Thank you, Dijanne
I like your sentinel so much. I'm pleased seeing your inspiration has come back;
I'm interested in your discussion group.
Gorgeous, and such lovely colours
