<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So for more up to date info about what I am up to please visit<b> <a href="http://www.rosiejames.com/">www.rosiejames.com</a></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Meanwhile here is picture of the cover of the Oct/Nov/Dec issue of BA First Magazine. (A mag for British Airways first class passengers.) I was commissioned to create a cover with the theme of Bodies. I used this as a way of exploring bringing in more colour and more loose threads into my work! Hope you like it!</span><br />

There seems to be a variety of shapes and sizes and their presence in the landscape is kind of strange. It seems almost mad that these lines of cables are hanging about in the sky just feet above us, and we barely notice them. Pylons are somehow invisible and concealed, yet they are massive structures striding out across the landscape. I am going to try to develop a series of stitched drawings of pylons. I like the idea of using stitch to depict something so huge and industrial. But also all those cables relate to my use of loose threads, threads and lines are coming together.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKQ1poDfjLy_BYNNtzrU-jVDGqFbwBjuCZKdBYTx0HVFTmDmbHjYbDm2EtkTiqgey8EEaCCtx8RJTLK9F0hLqR5KUgmk3scFQ7UM-i3Ic6bVA5wkr1MY0PuvcTa9zNDBKh2A-4-4YI9v4/s640/blogger-image--351318495.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKQ1poDfjLy_BYNNtzrU-jVDGqFbwBjuCZKdBYTx0HVFTmDmbHjYbDm2EtkTiqgey8EEaCCtx8RJTLK9F0hLqR5KUgmk3scFQ7UM-i3Ic6bVA5wkr1MY0PuvcTa9zNDBKh2A-4-4YI9v4/s640/blogger-image--351318495.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFEqf4zbaO754dbfRVfuSCwVRjBm110NKVnqm18iM8Rz1qZtNAc4lpm96t3wjkYmttFpN-vAeJnoBDjhBbpbbLSvEjjoBOaGa2cmWk1vIqmoIK3s0I8B5h2vvrV6QpyFwNFp4806XT7hA/s640/blogger-image--669101512.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFEqf4zbaO754dbfRVfuSCwVRjBm110NKVnqm18iM8Rz1qZtNAc4lpm96t3wjkYmttFpN-vAeJnoBDjhBbpbbLSvEjjoBOaGa2cmWk1vIqmoIK3s0I8B5h2vvrV6QpyFwNFp4806XT7hA/s640/blogger-image--669101512.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz81PsEBEvONOUEq4V-X0-OXDdxxPa9PQuQl3ODPTslUU7zmT04e6sCIqKASVktsYcJYXF2SzCt1wiFPXKl00VWNgXcOCIfX4ddiCUEsnIVnL8G5hpzMhjantP3GXyyhyphenhyphenRyG6xVVpG2zg/s640/blogger-image-1737684853.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz81PsEBEvONOUEq4V-X0-OXDdxxPa9PQuQl3ODPTslUU7zmT04e6sCIqKASVktsYcJYXF2SzCt1wiFPXKl00VWNgXcOCIfX4ddiCUEsnIVnL8G5hpzMhjantP3GXyyhyphenhyphenRyG6xVVpG2zg/s640/blogger-image-1737684853.jpg"></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com31tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521068895727837641.post-14044093314292459632016-01-11T14:44:00.001+00:002016-01-11T14:44:19.188+00:00Couture Suture<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have recently been thinking about sewing in all its various forms. What is sewing anyway?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I suppose in its basic form it is the use of a needle and thread to attach 2 things together. So when we think about it sewing is used in all different kinds of ways not just dressmaking, and one of those is the way in which sewing is used to stitch together skin when injured or during surgery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have created a stitched book which attempts to look at the connections between dressmaking and stitching used in surgery. I find making books is a good way to quickly try out some ideas and to play around a bit with techniques and materials as well as how things are composed and arranged. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We were so lucky with the weather, the sun shone and the sky was blue giving us some great views of the landscape. Have at look at the pictures below. It was a fabulous place for drawing, with the drama of the power station and its chimney (which is 244 metres high) and the fabulous views across to Sheerness and along the Medway and the Thames. Apparently Turner painted the Fighting Temeraire from here as the ship was towed from Sheerness to Rotherhithe to be broken up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We adjourned to the Library Chapel at Grain for an afternoon of stitching and collaging with cloth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you would like to join us for our last Ideas Test funded workshop please visit the <a href="http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/drawstitch-minster-tickets-18470332261" target="_blank">eventbrite </a>page or our Facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/drawtostitch" target="_blank">DrawtoStitch</a></span> <br />

The sun was shining the sky was blue, what could possibly go wrong! Well nothing actually we had a great day! We were met by Allison Young from the Sheerness Dockyard Preservation Trust who gave us a interesting history of the old dockyard church and explained to us some of the plans for the restoration of this beautiful building. We spent some time drawing from the church focusing on the whole thing and also on the fascinating details. Have a look at the Sheerness Dockyard Preservation website for details about the plans for the building and how you can get involved. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The afternoon was spent at the Blue Town Heritage Centre, where we
turned our drawings into textile masterpieces using a wide range of
threads and fabrics. The Blue Town Heritage Centre is a very interesting
place with a large display of artifacts, photographs and models
exploring all aspects of Sheerness History. Have a look at their
website, they also have a cinema and a cafe so we were kept supplied
with tea and cake all afternoon. <a href="http://www.thecriterionbluetown.co.uk/">www.thecriterionbluetown.co.uk</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In this workshop we will be using stitch draw techniques to draw on white shirts. We will be using old magazines as inspiration and adding colour with appliqued printed fabrics. You can bring your own shirt or T shirt, but a white cotton shirt is a bit easier to stitch on than a jersey t shirt. You can use the shirt as kind of sketchbook and use it to try out different ideas with stitch and colour.</span><br />

I have decided to try to make a drawing everyday in July. All the drawings are done on A4 paper in black pen, in a continuous line style. At the end of the month I should then have a collection of drawings which would be perfected for stitching. I am hoping that the resulting drawings will act as a kind of journal of my world in July, but it will be interesting to see. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Each drawing will be posted on my Instagram page. See the Instagram widget on the right of this blogpost. @floppy_organza</span><br />

For us watching it today the film still has relevance with the conditions of garment workers in places like Bangladesh. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The work consists of a series of garments on which have been stitched drawings of people sewing.</span><br />

The Sunlight Centre used to be a laundry, which was another inspiration for the work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The open evening will be on <span style="color: red;">Thursday 23rd July from 7pm -9pm.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Some things we may be thinking about:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. How lines are created, randomly or considered.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. How threads can work unattached to any surface.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. How threads can connect to each other.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4. How threads can connect to things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5. How threads become the line and how other types of line can connect with threads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6. How threads become mesh become surface.</span><br />
