Embroidery Hand Stitching

  So what do you do when you're trying to sort things out?   I doodle, play with words, write out my woes!!   I was fed up trying to sort things out so I decided to set my mind on a creative task instead....to fill up a sketch book.   I wanted to use yellow as it so prominent in my life now...and has been for over a year. Needless to say it's obvious connotations are Cancer and yes it pertains to that. So I'm describing my thoughts and feelings in the images I create on each page.     Each page has a yellow acrylic wash.  The lettering above is in liner pen.     Torn strips of fashion and lifestyle magazines in hues & tones of yellow.  Glued onto the page horizontally.  The background is wax crayon in yellow & orange.  Masking tape is then attached in pattern as a resist to the top coat of white wax crayon.  The masking tape is taken off revealing the hidden colour and pattern.
