Knowing when to stop.

Finding time to experiment.

Freehand embroidery could become addictive.

Once you get set up, your machine is behaving and your sitting comfortably 

(not usually the case by the time I finish!) it's so easy for a short task to turn in to an hour or more.

Poppy prints

This composition has gone through several different incarnations -

originally a series of watercolours and photos taken during 'Art in the Garden', Hollowtree, Devon.

The first development ended up as a peculiarly coloured screen print, reworked and transferred 

on to a photopolymer etching plate.

The prints on paper are really successful but I could not resist running the plate through the press

with finely woven cotton.

Once dry (Caligo oil based ink is great but it does take forever to dry) add some watercolour and stitch 

until you can bring yourself to stop - have I finished? Probably not.
