I’ve had quite an exiting, but also frustrating week making decisions, and framing up some of my artwork for an up and coming exhibition at the end of May.
I need to submit an inventory with prices and titles, I prefer to do that after framing, just in case for whatever reason I change my mind about a piece once I see it in a frame.
It’s been a frustrating time as I ordered frames from 3 places and 2 lots were damaged when they arrived, almost half the frames in total. The other lot I had mistaken the internal mount size as the frame size so that was my mistake, but still I can’t use them. Oh well, it’s a reason to work larger in future. I did get a replacement delivery from one company, all but the top frame were once again damaged in the same way due to poor packing. I give up.
I have been looking at my botanical cyanotype prints for some time wondering if I should stitch into them. I love them just as they are but I did decide to do a little stitching as I want to emphasise that they are textiles. I only did a little stitching mainly into the backgrounds as I want the print to be the star of the show.
I will show you some of the other pieces that I’ve chosen for the art fair in another post soon.
Here are some of the stitched textures close up.
