I’ve missed my usual posting this week – this is because I‘ve
been so busy preparing for our upcoming exhibition that I haven’t had time to
do any new work to put up. The show is in two weeks time and there is still a huge amount
of preparation to do. In the past week I’ve added borders to a couple of large
panels (very difficult for me as a non-sewer) and also mounted a couple of
dozen embroidered pieces – and there is still a lot left to do
However I don’t think I‘ve put this piece up before, so it
will do to keep things going. It’s based on Mexican designs and colours that I
remember from summers spent in Mexico when I was a child. I’ve always loved the
intense colours that feature so much in Mexican folk art and although I don’t
think I’ve captured the feeling exactly, the birds still remind me of time
spent in that exciting country
