fabrics ~ scrim velvet and cotton
Well tonight is the night for the Dundee College exhibition ~ I have work in for my HNC units and my City and Guilds Machine embroidery course which I have now finsihed ~ where has two years gone. And what happened to the person I was, scared of my own shadow and still very shakey after coming through my breakdown ~ well thanks to Sheila Mortlock my tutor my friends Christine and Julie, my embroidery guild and the college friends I've made, blogging friends new and old that have stuck by me and of course my lovely family Jim, Stevie, Scarlett, Rach and Lulu. Ive come on leaps and bounds ~ my City and Guilds course has allowed me to be me and explore and show case my artwork ~ a little different at times ~ some will probably remember the Alice in Wonderland theatre
from last year
with the machine embroidered back drops. It also gave me the confidence which wobbled at times to go and do four HNC units ~ so all in all Ive had a busy, productive and art filled year. Its been amazing. This September Im returning to finish my HNC units and hopefully finish it within the year.I hope Ill be able to get some photos of my work in situ tonight and post them here very soon.
For now though A Year of Colour for June is featuring yellow ~ beautiful.

Thinking of you this evening. Good luck and hope your exhibition is off to a great start. I look forward to seeing your work hanging in situ
Your yellow pics are a delight. Funny, today I photographed a yellow aquilegia in my garden, very similar to the one you have here but mine is a plain lemon yellow ...
Sending hugs xx
Hello darling friend
I hope the exhibition goes very well for you. Your art has developed beautifully in the time I have known you and you have been a very postive influence in my life.
You are a very brave and beautiful woman. Extremely talented and humble. You inspire me every day to be a better person.
Every day I look around my home and see the art you have created for me and I think of you. Just the other day I was holding my judrops doll you created for me in my hands. And I could feel the love and admired every stitch your creative soul made.
Bless you dear heart for being you.
I love you very much - and these yellow images make my heart sing!

Yellow is my new favorite color as I will be moving into a new space which has a nice, cozy yellow bathroom. As much as I am going to enjoy painting walls in the bedroom blue, I'm really looking forward to soaking in that nice, sunny yellow. I may have to "plant" some yellow flowers on the wall -- love that yellow columbine!
And best of luck with your exhibition!
I hope you had a great time yesterday! Looking forward to pics.
