I had Molly with me all day in the studio helping me finish off a wall-hanging made by a community group. In between we played, we walked and she slept. Although this isn’t as difficult as making costumes, it has its own challenges. Like getting nice straight edges, getting it good and square and of course a perfect corner is essential! It’s also very bulky to work with and sometimes bits drop off and I’ve to figure out where they came from and stick them back on. You are about to see my pin cushion, which I referred to in my first blog. The pins are all uniform in size and colour co-ordinated. The pins go round the outside of the pin cushion and the needles are allowed to sit in the middle. Anyone who’s worked with me knows about this obsession and anyone who values their life doesn’t interfere with ‘Rosie’s pincushion’. I’ve only shown a corner of the wall-hanging as it’s not mine to show off, but you can see enough to enable you to inspect my corners.
