redwork

I made my two pieces of Redwork embroidery into a removable book cover. I realise a white cover isn't the most practical colour, but it is washable, and a few coffee stains might compliment the design!

I decided to do a sketch today, for my Thing-a-day. I haven't sketched for years, at home I am surrounded by more accomplished artists (husband, son and daughter) this is a bit of an inhibiter. But today I want to draw something that is personal to me. I collect espresso coffeepots so that's my first sketch. I then turned my sketch into a line drawing, the next stage will be to translate it into Redwork embroidery. You can find out more about Redwork here
