MacGowan's best bitter patch

I have took the beer mat idea further and established another image of Shane MacGowan. I have used the same design as the first but on calico. It was great to try new embroidery stitches I have recently learnt such as the satin stitch and the back stitch.

MacGowen's Best Bitter

This is one of the first pieces for my new project which I have entitled 'Oh be joyful'. This project is looking into alcohol, why people drink, when people drink and drinking culture. This piece based on the singer songwriter of the Pogues , Shane MacGowen. I am hoping to try and put this among other beer mats in a pub and see what the reactions will be.

Final piece beginnings for Transparent

This is the start of my final piece for my current project. At the moment I have started to build the top compartment for my work that could be said to resemble a cabinet. I want to blend all of the places I have visited, objects I have collected and techniques I have learned in one 'conclusion'. I can say I am happy with the work so far.
