It s fucking freezing outside and barely any daylight. When trying to work in the workshop, I spend more time heating it to a manageable temperature than actually working. And I am starting to feel mightily depressed.
So I am starting a new project to keep me somewhat occupied when indoors. I want to make a bobbin lace picture of a phoenix. It will probably progress very slowly and I will make short posts about the whole process. Today the very beginning – a rough sketch.
My mother would iterate and refine this sketch on paper until she would get one she is satisfied with and that one she would trace on thicker paper. I am going about the business a bit differently – I will now refine the outines in photoshop. We shall see what comes out of it (if).
That’s going to be gorgeous. I’m looking forward to watching your work develop; you are such a good artist.
That is a beautiful sketch!
Ooooh, yes, very much looking forward to how you proceed with this!
Is there something in the air? I’ve got a few different projects going that involve birds, one of which is a beaded crocheted sphere. (I’ve broken the thread twice testing the pattern to see if it’s workable)
That’s a lovely phoenix but I can’t imagine how you will turn that into a usable lace making pattern. It’s so complex!! I look forward to pictures of each step. :)
