I developed a ganglion on my right hand as a result of making the bird mask last week. It’s giving me some gip so I’m resting the hand for a while and doing a few pieces that don’t require a strong grip. Yesterday it was a Tyvek Seed Pod incorporating sari silks and acrylic paint…..
Today I made a start on a mixed Media piece with the theme “Abstraction” which was set by the textile group Jeudis which I became a member of a couple of months ago. I’m combining free motion stitch with painted Lutradur and wet Felted Merino, for now it’s work in progress…..

Hope your hand gets better soon Karen – it clearly hasn’t stopped you working! 🙂 Love the seed pod. Good luck with the exhibition.

Thanks Kim, the hand is feeling much better. I’ve just framed the Abstraction piece and I’m thrilled with it so will post an image later.

Get your hand better soon.
Your pod is interesting (aged and decaying) whilst ‘abstraction’ reminds me of an anatomical view looking down on a left foot! I’m also the one who sees specific images in the clouds!

It’s funny how our brain likes to find something recognisable in everything we see. I’ve had a variety of suggestions put forward as to what it might be but yours is the most imaginative so far Antje!

The mask did look like a lot of physical work – we hope you’re better soon.
Your abstract piece already looks great!

Thank you. Having the weak hand has encouraged me to try the sander for Felting, rather than rubbing, and I’m really liking it!

I love both of these! Abstraction already shows a lot of depth. Looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.

Mounting it could be a challenge Ruth as I don’t think I want it behind glass. Will have to give that some thought.
