I saw this article from the BBC yesterday about an upcoming television series called "Make!" Textile artist Marna Lunt is interviewed here. Neat stitched work -- very lively, sketchy, and fun. I especially like the portrait piece...hmmm. It seems like so much of the UK work is based on a strong drawing foundation -- accurate representation seems to be part of the most effective work.
So much to do, so little time. Especially this morning! Cheers!
