update from Frances


Such luxury! Another residential week at the Ballydugan Cottages (Downpatrick) and plenty of time for support, sharing of ideas and stitching of projects for this year's theme, "Make it New" (Ezra Pound). I finished the second in my series of colourwash wall pieces on the four seasons and then tried my hand again at the single needle drawing pieces that have intrigued me for a few years. Using composted fabric (well-aged!) and dark thread I used a mirror to create and then stitch a self-portrait which is my tribute to old age. Weathered but determined.

Frances, I think your stitched line drawing is so full of character! It looks great!
