nuts and bolts

reflections and rejections

weight is important, it is part of the deception,
but i am beginning to approach the boundary,
there is only so much adornment the netting will allow,
before resorting to destortion


but
generally i like it

Whirlipool only speaks in riddles 

an explanation for all the netting.

one of the things i like the most about fabric is its relationship with the skin.
and
i feel netting allows me to explore this.

netting to me, represents a backdrop to build up a contemporary lace.
a vessel

allowing a build up of embellishment,
a contrast between the sheer and the opaque
the ease of the cut and the build
a geometric grid
mathematical in its application

I understand that other sheer materials can be used to create the same effect and that is something I need to explore further

but netting to me represents the invisible
embroidery upon skin.

Is it about face veils and headdress?

too circular?

you could allow the netting to act as a vessel

build an army

cut them out

paint it black

everyone an individual

I have so many photographs of flamingos,
I was a fabulous child


If I can't have the real thing maybe I will pretend
maybe I will start a journal of the make-believe
take note me and you and everyone we know household appliances

idea wanderings
technique proposals
traditional eastern techniques
lace work and applique


why am I so fascinated by netting?

how to successfully smother in gold?

a point of reflection
the problem I have with embroidery is, it is so time consuming that I get precious with it,
where the opportunity of furthering the sample occurs,
i fear for ruin, time wasted.

=
equaling bland samples

Creating an army.
Hard as nails.
