These are some of the fabrics I have either unpicked or intend to unpick.  Most of them sourced from charity shops  at bargain prices,  i.e. the fifty pence rail.  I actually prefer old fabrics, their patina, their histories, sometimes even their smell.   I’ve also done a spot of housekeeping on my blog.  My ‘About‘ page has been extended and  has all the links to my online visual work.  I’ve blitzed all the websites in my sidebar and replaced them with just one  category  - inspiration(al). This is intended to focus on  artists that I consider are inspirational, influential on my own art practice.   Blogroll, however, remains permanent unless blogs are inactive for 6 months.  Then delete, sorry!   I do feel so much better after a little organisation.
