Update on the sheep picture. I am using a photo for reference. It’s painstakingly slow adding small pieces of fabric. One mm out and the whole expression on her face changes! All the scraps are pinned in layers before I handstitch them together on to the background fabric, trimming and shaping as I go. #workinprogress #textiles #textileart | Art in Textiles

The sheep may be finished. Now to let him rest to see if anything else needs attention. Thank you very much to those who prompted me to look at the image differently. I moved one of his eyes! #wool #fleece #textiles #textileartist #sheep | Art in Textiles

Practise, practise, practise, finally a Lino cut print of a sheep that looks like I imagined it might. Hoorah! Broken all the rules and gouged out the marks completely freehand and used a roller not a palette knife to apply the ink! | Art in Textiles
