I now feel happier with this project - I think it is really useful for me to make something quite different to the mechanical and masculine images that I normally do and love. A mechanical drawing in stitch just works due to the surprise caused by the contrast in subject and medium; this is a recreation of a feminine form in a feminine medium but, it is also a homage to the young ladies who made the original drawings and it is lovely to capture the fragility. But, the work is harder to do - the detail is finer and this small piece has taken nearly four and a half weeks to complete.
I am now at Knit and Stitch - so no time to work but plenty of opportunity to talk about my ideas with the public. I feel that this is such an important thing to do and truly lovely - talking about your work with members of the public who have so many interesting points of views as well as their own personal stories of exploring the world of creativity.
