Vibrant and Fragrant

My house smells gorgeous at the moment as I've been making more lavender sachets.
I love the uplifting colours of this one.

The fabric was printed with an image of graffiti, before I cut it into hexagons. I never really know how the end product will turn out and enjoy experimenting with the position of  the templates on the fabric to  produce abstract patterns.

You may be able to see which parts of the original image were used.

Collaboration

Mr Dotty has had a couple of days off from his day job and has been out and about taking photographs. We have thousands of his images stored on a hard drive and it is a great source of inspiration.

I have really been enjoying using some of the images he has taken directly in my work, combining traditional English patchwork (hand stitched over papers) with bright, urban images.

This is the original image

This is what I did with it
