This week I felt I ought to make progress on my collection
of luggage labels. I decided to do these many moons ago as a doable weekly
project. They were small in size and they gave me the opportunity to try
different techniques. The ‘weekly’ part fell by the wayside quite quickly so I
felt as if I was always playing catch-up. Now I do them in batches when the
mood takes me (often between projects when I am pondering what to do next). I
have a book called ‘Inspired to Stitch’ and the idea of working with
complementary colours and line came from there.
And then I homed in on the third of the 3 panels which
needed completing and I decided to use the glorious hollyhocks for this. So
armed with fabric off-cuts and some inspirational pictures I set about doing it
in my usual free and painterly style.
I am really pleased with these and think that they would
look decoratively stunning in the right place in an alcove or beside a door. I
am willing to sell them as a triptych or as individual panels so, if you are
interested and want more details, get in touch at dilys.fronks@btinternet.com
your 3 panel flowers are just stunning. Good to see you are managing to produce work. I find it hard
