I couldn't really concentrate on a finished piece this week but as I was pruning my Silver Birch I decided to draw it & make a collage using it. I stitched over the actual drawing but luckily I'd got a photocopy of it with the idea of doing some image transfer - I want to repeat the image up the side of a hanging with a large version of the drawing in the middle.....
Above is the sample using the drawing - I stiched with burgundy & gold on gold organza on top of the drawing.
The drawing, another thermofax screen idea?
The start of the collage, a way to go yet ;)
Helped along the way by one of our cats - thought it was about time I joined in with the cat pics! This is Sconser, named after a place up the road here, from a rescue place 16 years ago, my youngest was 6m old! She's laying right over the bits & pieces of fabric for the sample & some cuffs I'm trying to get finished & into the studio.
Once I've got my work up onto the walls ready, I might have a clear enough head to make some more. Meanwhile I'm enjoying thinking about it!
I was weeding with a Skylark, & bumble bees in the willow, delightful.

You managed to accomplish alot in a little time. Great things going on in Skye. Easter is just round the corner isn't it. Good luck readying the studio. xox Corrine
The silver birch piece looks lovely, I think it's great that you get so much inspiration from doing thing in the garden or on walks. Hope you manage to get the studio sorted in time! :) x
Its coming along nicely Emma....i havnt got a clue what a thermofax screen is tho?! x
We're waiting for spring to arrive here!
Lovely collages!
Such a pretty piece!
This collage looks interesting! Hope you have a good b and b season - we shall be up that way in June - can't wait!
Love the twiggy collages and Sconser obviously appreciates a bit of art too.
lovely work ,Emma great idea for a thermofax...tina
Hi Emma I love the first little collage with the silver birch. We have two stands of these magnificent trees - just love the sound of the breeze going through them. I used some canvas for my recent inkjet printing - worked well I thought!
Thanks for leaving such a nice comment. Vicki loved her brooche hanging and I can't wait to see it full of brooches. I will post a pic when it happens. She is away travelling at present!
Hugs, Suzy
Love your collages Emma...I'm off to look at some more!
Hope you have a great b&b season.
Looks like Sconser has a passion for fabric like Peachy :-)
I like the way you have used the tree in the collages. Good luck with getting every thing ready for the season, which I hope will be very successful.
Hi Emma, your cat looks like she's enjoying herself! Love your collages, good luck with getting everything ready. Jan x
