Chapter Five

Quilting, Padding & Stuffing

It is three months since I last posted any work.  Coursework is a bit of a challenge at present as we are in temporary accommodation.  Better things are around the corner but I must be patient and let the legal system do its thing!  Can you spot my sewing machine?

Module Five – Chapter One


I have just returned from a week in Bonifacio, Corsica.  I spent a lot of the time photographing the cliffs and granite rocks on a nearby island in preparation for this module – Texture in Landscape.  How lucky to have such a magnificent natural landscape in front of me at this time.
To start with here is a reminder of the beautiful blue sea and sky!

On the recommendation of a friend, I have just downloaded the free image manipulation software GIMP and have been experimenting with the images of the cliffs below.  I know there is a lot more to learn but this is a start!  Against the image number I have written the GIMP function have used.
