<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Since I have been researching and using Roman artefacts for inspiration this herringbone floor pattern has been a continuing theme in some of my work. I have also been doing some bookbinding and made this small pamphlet book above and hand screen printed the cover in a blue/turquoise colour. I hand stitched the booklet </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">in order to use as a sketchbook or notebook, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">and the pages inside are made from beautiful Zerkall paper. After finishing the pamphlet book I decided to hand screen print my design in copper and made another pamphlet book:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This lovely linen is beautiful to print onto as I have been developing a new textile print inspired by the <a href="http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=361">Mountain Knapweed</a> plant growing in my garden. I have printed it in two shades of lilac/purple which complement the linen beautifully:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Centaurea montana is the plant's latin name and firstly I made a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanotype">Cyanotype</a> from it and then drew from the actual plant into my sketchbook. This is a very enjoyable way of working and the plant's colours very refreshing to incorporate into my print:</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">During the summer I printed one of my designs that I had used for a limited edition print and for stationery onto tea towels. These were then available at the Open Studios that I exhibited at. The first colour used was the pink magenta one that you can see below. These proved to be very successful at the Open Studios and I was asked to make a custom order in a turquoise/green on some fabric for someone. This led me to try out this new Emerald colour in my Florentine Lilies design which has become even more popular and I have just heard that one of my customers loves it so much that she is framing hers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here are some sneak previews of the hand printing process which is done by me with non-toxic water based inks. To celebrate the success of these and to welcome in the New Year I will be announcing a giveaway on this blog of one of my tea towels soon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whilst on Etsy this week I have created a Treasury of some of my favourite items and thought that I would share it with you. Unfortunately the tool that I have used to show it on this blog does not transfer fully to the small size of my blog and it cuts part of the Treasury off. If you want to see it in its entirety here is the link to my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTI0MTc0OTV8MjcyMTE2NDEwNw/winter-treats?ref=pr_treasury">Winter Treats Treasury</a>. I would be really happy I woke up on Christmas morning to some of these gorgeous things.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Although it has been a while since I posted here, I have been quite busy with my art work and been selected for an artists development project for Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery - images of some of my latest work for this can be found on my <a href="http://jacquidodds.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/geological-traces-shrewsbury-museum-and.html">art journal</a>. This hasn't stopped me pursuing printing some of my designs onto fabric and I have recently made this fabric storage box for myself and it has also been on sale at the <a href="http://jacquidodds.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/shrewsbury-winter-open-studio.html">Open Studios </a>that I have been taking part in. The print really works well on the linen fabric as well as the box being really handy for storing things in.</span></div>

I chose it for our reading group before Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. </span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">The book centres around a group of 264 wood and ivory Japanese carvings called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsuke">netsuke</a> and is written by <a href="http://www.edmunddewaal.com/">Edmund de Waal</a>, a British ceramic artist who has created installations for the Victoria and Albert Museum, Chatsworth, Kettle's Yard and Tate Britain. These carvings were bought by one of de Waal's ancestors in Paris in the 19th Century at one of the most exciting times in the History of Art. It is not so much a detailed history of each of the minature sculptures but more of the history of the collection being moved around Europe and Asia as de Waal researches his family history and also includes some of the more frightening times of Europe's past.</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">The paperback includes photographs of some of the carvings, some </span><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">family photographs belonging to de Waal and also a family tree of his ancestors dating back to the time when the family made their fortune in grain and banking. The family tree is a must to follow as you read the book in order to keep a track of who is who in the story (the family tree may not be available in the Kindle version). The hardback, illustrated edition contains many more interesting photos to guide you through the book.</span></p><br /><p></p>Jacqui Doddshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14269967683291607629noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509154848756568608.post-91679563077046361682011-12-02T11:10:00.022+00:002011-12-02T12:05:55.739+00:00Reflecting Winter and Spring<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-30-L6h8suHQ/Tti7SYtZchI/AAAAAAAABhg/hlhkeR77LQo/s1600/Reflecting%2BWinter%2B%2526%2BSpring%2B1%2B%25C2%25A92009%2BJacqui%2BDodds.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 319px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681496854472782354" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-30-L6h8suHQ/Tti7SYtZchI/AAAAAAAABhg/hlhkeR77LQo/s320/Reflecting%2BWinter%2B%2526%2BSpring%2B1%2B%25C2%25A92009%2BJacqui%2BDodds.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This small Moleskine journal is the third of my designs that I have hand screenprinted onto notebooks in the studio:</span><br /><br /><div><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 314px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681496038948368690" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ro6cF4dVAfk/Tti6i6pOcTI/AAAAAAAABhI/-Llkw99IwnY/s320/Reflecting%2BWinter%2B%2526%2BSpring%2B2%2B%25C2%25A92009%2BJacqui%2BDodds.jpg" /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This original design, drawn by me, was inspired by the ferns and icicles of a small frozen waterfall in the Welsh village of Llanarmon DC: </span><br /></div><br /><br /><div><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681495483961520930" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Jft8t4yOmjM/Tti6CnKDMyI/AAAAAAAABg8/DEK3DM9PwRE/s400/Llanarmon%2BDC%2Bsmall%2Bwaterfall%2B%25C2%25A9Jacqui%2BDodds%2B2009.jpg" /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">In the spring of 2009 I was asked to participate in an outside exhibition in the village and therefore screenprinted my Reflecting Winter and Spring design onto aluminium:</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681493697946888130" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kIYsSFjwipM/Tti4apu-p8I/AAAAAAAABgY/AyzKdhFHKRM/s400/Jacqui%2BDodds%2B%2527Reflecting%2BWinter%2B%2526%2BSpring%2527%2BLlanarmon%2BDC%2Bsmaller%2B%25C2%25A9Jacqui%2BDodds%2B2009.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">It seemed quite natural to play around with the scale of my design and first I printed it onto cards and then onto the Moleskine.

<br /><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">A few weeks ago we spent a week in North Yorkshire and were truly blessed with good weather. On one of our excursions out we visited Jervaulx Abbey which is a 12th Century Cistercian abbey and has to be one of the most enchanting places I have visited. The abbey is privately owned and the grounds are immaculately kept (whilst losing non of its charm) and is wonderful to walk through with so many lovely vistas and walkways:</span>

<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I have started adding these screen printed Moleskine journals to the range of goods that I print by hand using water based inks in the studio:</span>

<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I previously printed my Florentine Lilies design onto <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/65189727/florentine-lilies-note-card-hand">cards</a> using white cardstock. However, I am really pleased with how different my design looks when printed onto the brown craft paper of the Moleskine journal. These are available in my Etsy shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/78469781/florentine-lilies-hand-screenprinted">here</a>. </span>

They are a little late this year because of the cold weather earlier in the year. Snowdrops are one of the most beautiful flowers; the flower heads seem to defy logic as they appear too heavy for the stalk that holds them. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I have hand screenprinted printed my original 'Snowdrops' design onto this Moleskine notebook which can be seen above and it is now for sale in my Etsy shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/67827960/snowdrops-hand-screenprinted-moleskine">here.</a></span><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I have been out and about in Shropshire the last few weeks eagerly awaiting the snowdrops so I can photo them.

They revealed little striped 'hearts':</span> <div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572017155863250882" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lMnOxJvmcC4/TVPIFNmch8I/AAAAAAAABE8/4MwGEty_ZS4/s400/044%2Bsmaller.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">As I was taking photographs in my garden my neighbour's son-in-law came to ask what I was doing and then offered some of his mother-in-laws snowdrops for me to photograph too. These are different again and he told me about some with pink in the middle so I will have to look into these. (I can see a new hobby starting up in searching out different snowdrop varieties!).

This 'Frothy Scarf' is a Rowan pattern I started <a href="http://venetian-blue.blogspot.com/2010/01/extra-curricular-activities.html">a while ago </a>and had decided that it should be a gift for my Mum this Christmas. Unfortunately I left it till the last minute to pick up and knit the frothy frill around the outside and was up quite late on Christmas Eve finishing it! (Does anyone else leave their knitting around for a while before finishing it?) It was worth it though as Mum is very pleased with it and teenage daughter has decided she wants me to make her one in a different colour, but cannot quite decide whether she wants a frill on it or not. </span><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a_rU5yn-TGw/TRoyft5HC1I/AAAAAAAABCA/mQkyKAFENSQ/s1600/Mums%2Bscarf%2B1%2Bsmaller.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555808610791394130" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a_rU5yn-TGw/TRoyft5HC1I/AAAAAAAABCA/mQkyKAFENSQ/s400/Mums%2Bscarf%2B1%2Bsmaller.jpg" /></a> </div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Another gift I gave, this time to my daughter, was a brass locket containing an embroidered feather which was made by Melissa Wastney of <a href="http://tinyhappy.typepad.com/">Tiny Happy Blog</a>.

As it is nearly Christmas there were quiet a few nice chocolate treats and drinking wine before we got down to discussing the book.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">One of the attractions of the book was that the story is centred around <a href="http://www.highgate-cemetery.org/">Highgate Cemetery </a>in London as one or two people had been there and said that it was a definite 'must do' when visiting London. Jenny brought a book about the cemetery with wonderful photographs which we all had a look at and thought that some of the photos were very reminiscent of Dr Who! </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Without spoiling the story it revolves around two sets of twins, one of which inherit their aunt's house close to Highgate cemetery in which they must live for a year, but in which their mother and father cannot step foot in. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Opinion was quite divided about the book some of us really enjoyed it but others found it difficult to enter into the book's divergence from reality.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Personally I really enjoyed the book (more than Audrey Niffenegger's first book 'The Time Traveller's Wife') and felt that it was well written and found the juxtaposing theme of confinement and freedom explored in the book really interesting. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">This is a good book to read around Christmas time with it's Gothic, ghostly story and setting.</span></div>Jacqui Doddshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14269967683291607629noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509154848756568608.post-23839323002760422752010-12-13T12:34:00.006+00:002010-12-13T12:53:05.146+00:00Two winners........<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a_rU5yn-TGw/TQYTP4Nui6I/AAAAAAAABBk/x7rHYv6olaY/s1600/Card%2Bdrawer%2B1%2Bsmaller.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 364px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550144754289642402" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a_rU5yn-TGw/TQYTP4Nui6I/AAAAAAAABBk/x7rHYv6olaY/s400/Card%2Bdrawer%2B1%2Bsmaller.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Apologies for not posting straight away this weekend about the card giveaway but I have been in bed with a horrible cold. Anyway - I decided that since I was starting to feel quite festive (even though the only Christmas decoration I have had the strength to put out at the moment is my little <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Murano</span> glass Christmas tree!), I would pick out two random winners of the cards. So the first name out was <a href="http://www.keithlear.co.uk/darcy/">Darcy</a> and the second one out was <a href="http://kristinasjollyhockeysticks.blogspot.com/">Kristina</a>. So if you could please send me your address as soon as possible to: jacquidodds(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk I will get them out in the post before the last Christmas posting dates.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /></span><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a_rU5yn-TGw/TQYTHZQWrjI/AAAAAAAABBc/wk6LfT5gAyI/s1600/Card%2Bdrawer%2B2%2Bsmaller.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 384px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550144608540208690" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a_rU5yn-TGw/TQYTHZQWrjI/AAAAAAAABBc/wk6LfT5gAyI/s400/Card%2Bdrawer%2B2%2Bsmaller.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Jacqui Doddshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14269967683291607629noreply@blogger.com1
