Dissertation the more I write the more muddled I feel :} Ghanaian printed cloth:
A social, political and religious case study.
What I wish for more than anything else is to have someone who is an expert of Ghanaian printed cloth to sit down with and have a good old chat about it's history and modernity.

Haven't stopped doodling all day, little bits of research and photo organising here and there and found a couple of my drawings on my disc, inspired by Rosie Roberts work!
I love drawing with stitch this is a piece of my work from my fashion project last year. :)
Whilst working in my sketchbook this morning I thought I just pop out and take a cutting from my Honeysuckle bush. The berries are almost finished now but there were still a few ripe ones left for me to draw. So i'm drawing away and one bursts over the page! I'm a terrible worrier so wondering if the berries are poisonous I quickly jumped onto google to find out. Thankfully they are not but I wouldn't recommend anyone is complacent about them.
The site www.countrylovers.co.uk/wfs/wfsberries.htm had a list of berries with images and I was quite shocked to see one that I pass quite a lot out and about which I always feel drawn to for its structure and almost luminous quality I'm always thinking of collecting a few and drawing them. I wouldn't have known at all that it was a deadly as I found out today! So take care when your sketching out there especially when drawing natural flora and fauna.
There's no place like home! Gosh can't believe how fast this weekend has gone! Had my head down all weekend painting for minor project the embroidery I have done back into the canvas takes so long..... Feels like I've been on some other planet, no funny comments, lol :) Anyway today was good got some more canvases and have started working on them tonight.
