Yesterday I sat in my (fabulous new) chair, and stared vacantly out the window for a while. It felt really nice to just drift.
But then I got intrigued by the drips on the window, and started messing about with the camera. I got a couple pictures that didn’t suck, and printed one out for yesterday’s card, and hated how it was going. So i switched, and gave you branches instead. But I still like this concept, it just needed refining. When I picked it up again today, I started by getting more intense with the embroidery. That worked better, but I had to contain the embroidery effort or I would go mad, plus I would be there til midnight. So I focussed on just one corner, then clipped it out, and stuck it to another postcard. Then I was attracted by some plastic that made me think of the window all over again but then I needed to do something with the blank spot on the right… More raindrops, embroidered from the back of the card. It was a nice piece of playing. Not ugly, neither.
Think wet thoughts for Melbourne, that Shula says is dying of dry.

how wonderful, but I’m still confused about the process. Are you embroidering onto paper, or tranferring somehow.
And thank you for your wet thoughts.

I print direct onto the fabric – the lazy way at the moment with pre-treated fabric preattached to freezer paper, ready to drop into the printer tray and go. Then it is ready to embroider and fuse and all that.
