I tried a different sewing technique with the shapes within the diamond facet.

Yesterday I added the leftover paint, paint water and rag to the other paint rag containers.

Today I used the latest dried rag and added it to the first facet of my fabric diamond 'Need'.

I began cutting and sewing the rags onto one facet of the diamond pattern.

Come on into the studio and I’ll show you around!

I’ve spent a few hours today reorganising the studio furniture so that I can fit the sewing machine in. I’m ready to jump into sewing this diamond!

This is how I’ve used the printed reference images to give me a rough idea of the shapes within the diamond facets.

The ring has its uses.

I didn’t have long in the studio today but I had enough time to finish pinning the pattern pieces of the ‘Need’ diamond to the wall.

I had a long Zoom meeting tonight when I was meant to be art making. I turned off the camera and microphone did some sneaky ironing! All the paint rags are pressed and ready to be used!

I have figured out a much easier way to make the diamond shape out of the painting rags.

How would using different fabric scraps (and where they are from) change the meaning of the artwork?
