In September I told you about the Maps & More workshops at Littleheath Barn. The next session was in October after I returned from Australia. I realised I hadn't written about that.
We did the grid exercise where you put masking tape horizontally and vertically onto fabric and then print in various ways over the grids. I had found some narrow tape on Amazon which was a hideous green. However it did the job.
When the green masking tape was taken off it was thrown away.
The finished cloth is rather more orange than the photo shows which doesn't really match my Venice colour palette. So as homework I had another go. This time using only my Venice related stamps, stencils and Thermofax screens. I used some of the narrow green tape because it's really easy to make curves with.
I did two versions
This time I put the masking tape into my sketchbook.
Here's another page from the sketchbook
Our next session is in December so I'm afraid you'll have to wait to see what I do with these.
Thanks for joining me today

I really like the piece you did at Littleheath, the denseness of texture highlights the grid even more, and it is still recognisably yours even if not quite the Venice colours. Your Venice pieces are much more delicate, they give a lovely feeling of the shifting light there. Looking forward to the next installment.
