I have been sorting through fabric again - this time I went through some of my stuff, and managed to find some fabric that I have literally had since I was a kid. But I evidently never used it for anything. But that is going to change now!
I've gone through all the stuff I have that was mum's and sorted out material I don't want (of which it turns out there's a fair chunk, both scraps and massive size pieces). I have been wanting to sort some of it out to make scrap packs, except I've had a cold for the last week, so that's been fun! (not) It's not been bad as colds go, but for most of the last week I've broken out in a sweat every time I've moved, and felt fairly drained, so even something as simple as making piles of fabric felt a bit beyond me.
One thing that I have been doing while feeling gross is making little fabric collages*. I'm testing out ideas for things I can put together relatively quickly, and then mount on a canvas when they're finished. I don't know if anything will come of it, or if anyone will even want to buy one, but it's keeping me amused for now (and also helping use up very small fabric scraps). Also it's more curl up in a chair friendly than paper collage. Or maybe I need a better set up. It's been a few years since I last had a shuffle round in the living room, so maybe I should have a think about that, actually.
They're not pictures of anything, they're just little abstract pieces, but I mean, that kind of fits with the stuff I've been drawing over the last few years.
So yeah, that's what I've been up to lately, apart from all the usual to-ing and fro-ing (bleh). Like I said, I don't think my life is terribly interesting at the moment (has it ever been?) so I'm just not writing about it much.

*They're not collages because they're sewn not stuck but I honestly don't know what else to call them. I suppose maybe appliques? *shrugs*
