This week the tutor thought that my print was very Aboriginal and said that he thought it should come up well on fabric. I hope so because I made a complete dogs breakfast of my prints on paper - the colours tended to be too similar and didn't show the design well. I have done more carving on the woodcut since and taken out a lot more of the background. One day soon I shall print them all onto fabric. I haven't been enjoying the white paper that we have been printing on in that I don't like the white lines and would prefer to have coloured backgrounds.
Anyhow it will all have to wait a bit longer, I am away for the weekend.
I'm off to Wanaka for the weekend. The Otago Embroiderers Guild use the high school there and have a weekend of classes with a little shopping added on. I am doing the book binding class which I think will be fun - I am not really much of an embroiderer anyhow. I haven't really organised myself well for the class. I should have most of the things on the needs list somewhere around the house so I have started to gather them up. I have started to organise some clothes too and if I pretend to do some housework in the middle of it all then I will have accomplished something for the afternoon.
I will try to remember to take my camera and take pictures - some of the classes are quite interesting and very creative and can be easily interpreted in all sorts of fibres. I think there is even a class in paper making too. Fun, Fun, Fun.

Yes yes, I want to see photos. And I really like that block, a lot of work has gone into that.
