SURPRISE!

Hey there blog-heads, surprised to see me blogging? Me too!

Personally I think the sheer shock might kill me dead.

So, I'm going to justify my extended absence with the good ol' excuse that my laptop decided it would stop working. It has been a traumatic month I must admit, I've been unable to troll Facebook and Twitter without a mobile device, and let me tell you, when you type 1000 words into your iPod you get THE CRAMPS!

BAM!
Picture!

(see if you can make it original size, the textures look amazing)

So yeah, it is a little known fact that I take my art lessons in a textiles room and therefore know my way around a sewing machine, it rounds out my domestic goddess persona, cooking, sewing and being capable of abstract thoughts.

Once again, its Sarah, I swear I'm not obsessed, I just love her deeply and from inside her wardrobe.

The piece was done as part of the experimentation portion of my Fine Art Project People & Portraits and also because I genuinley enjoy working with embroidery because the stitching always looks really flow-y and magical. I do believe I coloured it with fabric dyes and a little bleach, difficult because if you want strong colours you have to use alot of dye, which means it's gonna spread like Nutella.

I shall Blog again on Monday (REALLY) as I'm off to do what we Brits do best. Drink.
