Thank you, Karen @blessedmutti for your inspiring image, I had to be very patient with this one (something I'm not very good at😂). Lots of waiting for layers to dry and lots of processes

Stage 1 -A thick layer of acrylic paint on the #gelliplate I had to wait a couple of days for it to dry. The base layer is acrylic paint on a cotton fabric, painted Bondaweb is added for texture. The top layer uses the paint from the gelliplate on to a fine silk. Both fabrics are distressed using the embellishing machine, then finished with free motion embroidery.

Inspiration from Amanda @threadpaintclay Thank you. I've tried to capture what Amanda likes about this image, "the clarity of the circle against the texture of the weathered paint and wood."

Just over one week of #the100dayproject complete. I've had a great week, challenging at times, but that's mainly due to a lack of time. #100daysofcloseupinspiration

Thank you so much to everyone who has already helped me out and sent photographs of their close-up inspiration, I've been sent so many interesting photos and they have really got me thinking, how can I translate these into #miniartworks

I've worked out when it's @yorkopenstudios I'll have just over 50 on display.

If you would still like to take part, please can you DM me a photo/s of patterns or textures or something that inspires you. (the photo must be your own) By sending a photo, you will be agreeing for me to share/publish it, I will, of course, tag you. 📷

Thank you Rebecca Hulse @rebeccahulseart for the inspirational photograph taken on your local Charnwood walk (inside a fallen tree)

I have to admit this has been the trickiest to capture so far, the idea I had didn't quite work out as planned but after lots of moving tiny bits of fabric around, I think I'm there🥰
