Isobel visited us last year for a Workshop on ‘Stitching with Paper’ and today she entertained us with a talk on her current way of working using a variety of the latest materials including Light Moulding Paste and Relief Paste – these are both Textile mediums which are applied to surfaces to create a base for stitching.
She also uses Calico and Weed Suppressant ‘fabric’ which she paints with flour and water paste to create a surface for colour and stitch.
Isobel loves to hand stitch so all of her very intricate work is covered with lots of stitches before she colours with a variety of paints and inks. These are left to dry until they become quite hard and made into boxes, books, panels and bags.
For close up detailed pictures of her work go to her website – lots of information about her and her work.
