October was a little bit shit, to be honest. So I did heaps of work.

But a favorite sewing blog has risen from the dead! The Cutting Class. Last sighted 2013

So much trial and error in finding the right text

Forgive my indulgence with the shiny. I will always love it I’m afraid

Please note that all the landscapes above are studies. Its like a sketch, so its ‘unfinished’ by nature. I used deep profile boards with these and its too high relief for this application or I would probably have pushed them further. I’m using gesso masonite boards for The Real. Up towards the beginning of these posts, you can see a pic with two red panels, these are the gesso boards for gilding & will be the finished work

I love this font! Trajan. It was developed for Photoshop which means its a pricey one to buy, so I drew it myself from screen snips

I’m a bit traumatised from the commerce inherent in the commerce of selling & haven’t added this t-shirt to my Art shop yet but email me if you’re keen to have one right away. I printed a few for next week’s Melbourne Frocktails but its a primo bit of sewing merch for Xmas. “Just the thing for the sewist in your life, as long as they’re cool enough” is my marketing push. Like it?

Then I go see the real thing. So ok, October wasnt all shit
