Lost Photos

When I was writing last night's post using my iPad I couldn't find these photos,but they were safe in my laptop and I'm sure some of you will enjoy them.

This is Gaynor's lovely quilt, all hand-stitched with a close-up of it below.

Here they are studying Jannine's quilt, the stitching doesn't show in the photo I'm afraid, but if you study some of these photos below you will see details of this lovely work. 

Here is Ann who seems to be the only one working hard this afernoon.

And Wow! I don't believe it. someone brought in a laptop. Hurray to Rhiannon. I have been able to persuade a few of them to share the authorship of this blog and now that we do have some sort of connection to the internet here we might have some fun I must get ready to go to this afternoon's meeting.

Just look at those handbags.

















And these were made by Neil, Mary's husband who sells them for charity.





I must admit that it's not all that easy to set out a neat blog using iPad, but maybe I just haven't got the hang of it yet?

Great meeting episode2

This was such a fun meeting but at the same time we managed to get on with preparing our project.
To get a clearer view please click on each one of these images. The photos that I'm able to load with my iPad are rather smaller than I would like, but there might be a way of getting them larger that I don't know about yet.



What a choice!

This lovely little book has been made by Carol and we all liked it so much she's promised to give us a workshop soon.


This is Rhiannon's work in progress. The top half of the photo shows her inspiration and I'm almost certain it's a wall at Plas Tan y Bwlch the bottom half shows her lovely inspiration of it. She's finished this work now but it was not photographed. I'm sure there will be another opportunity shortly.



This is a beautiful quilt in progress by Janine, who is hiding behind it.

Great Meeting

This is our new project on the Victoria Pier Colwyn Bay in North Wales. Mary will lead us all as she has already done some wonderful personal work on the subject. These are photos taken of the pier. We will begin by choosing one of them to base our work on.

Here is a large finished example of work she brought to inspire us today. This photo does not do it justice.

This is one of the photos Mary brought to show us.

The photos show us just getting settled in on our first day at the Plas (Plas Tan y Bwlch).

Gaynor is making cords.

 Joan is creating a name sampler for yet another great-granddaughter!

Rhiannon is inspired by a photo she took of a fern growing from one of the walls at Plas.

Jenny is quilting the quilt she is making as part of Janine`s quilting course in Llandudno.

Carol is making a most delicate journal.

Sue is playing with paints.

Mary`s machine embroidery based on our shoreline. In fact she completed this picture and began another over the week-end. For the rest of us it was like having an incidental master-class.

Trails of Thread

Here are photos of the Trails of Thread exhibition by SerenTex  members, their wonderful textile art is showing in Venue Cymru theatre in Llandudno at the moment. The work is based on memories of Llandudno. Click on photos for a larger image.

Exhibition at Mostyn gallery

These are photos of the work made by two creative groups including SerenTex members who took part in a workshop led by Wendy Couling. The other group were members of a Masterclass again taken by Wendy. It was a highly successful exhibition that was first shown in the Adain Avion Olympics 2012 aeroplane body on the promenade in Llandudno. some of the work is also being shown in Venue Cymru and both venues ar e well worth a visit if you live locally or on holiday in Llandudno.

Our new Adain Project with Wendy Couling

Here are a few photos which will demonstrate how much fun we had at our Tuesday workshop with Wendy. We worked on transparencies and Perspex. All this was completely  new to us all, but I think we all went home inspired. The work is based on memories of Llandudno and the exhibition will be called Hanging by a Thread.

  

These images were very difficult to capture on camera as the workroom has huge roof windows which is wonderful for working, but not ideal to photograph shiny surfaces. Below is a small selection of the work produced.
