In two weeks\u2019 time, you won\u2019t be able to get through here. By then, it\u2019ll look as if there\u2019s been a minor (wool) explosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On one side of the room is my tufting frame. There\u2019s a commissioned piece on it. I\u2019ve finished the embroidery, so I can start tufting. Around my frame, on the floor and on the cupboards, there are about 30 to 40 balls of wool. And they\u2019ll stay there. According to my own system.
Because yellow and yellow are two very different colours, let\u2019s just say. So if I put that particular yellow back in the cupboard and then need it later after all\u2026 well, which shade was it again? I can\u2019t take that risk, so there are loads of balls scattered around my frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, there are boxes full of materials for new abstract works that I\u2019ve been preparing for months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the other corner is my table with a large embroidery hoop, where I\u2019m working on an embroidery piece for yet another commission. It\u2019s surrounded by bowls of wool too. Different wool, because I\u2019m using different threads for this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three projects at once. Three techniques. Three completely different set-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On top of that, my works came back last week from the Unit4Art art gallery, where they had been on display for ten months. And I\u2019ve just finished one of my largest works ever, which now needs to find a home too.
I literally have no more space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why, this Friday, I\u2019ll be sending a one-off email to my newsletter subscribers featuring a selection of works at reduced prices. It\u2019s the first time in four years. And I reckon it\u2019ll be the last time, too. Because next time, I\u2019ll be looking for a bigger studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
