Textile samples 'cells' for self-portrait ...

Here's 2 textile 'cells' worked as initial samples:

Some knitting using several different colours of sewing thread + dropping stitches & then with scraps added using machine embroidery. Likely this will be used within the 'self-portrait' that is now developing.

These 'cell structures' are plastic can holders stitched & have tassels added - this cellular structure a 'spring-board' for ideas using corded fabric or thread.

The New Year starts with completion of another magazine article - this time relating to the 'Cells' project I've been working on. Although the above image hasn't been used as one of my favourites, I've uploaded it to Facebook.
