Reason number 29 not to get a new bathroom suite. The bath is my dye space, both hair and fabric. This morning I've been mixing disperse dyes in preparation for a workshop with the local branch of the Embroiderers' Guild next weekend. I have all kinds of weird and wonderful curtaining which we are going to have fun transforming from tacky to tantalising.
On the subject of tantalising, I couldn't resist pausing to have a puppet moment as I chopped up my curtaining. This isn't one of my inventions. It was a method taught to me by the Scottish Mask and Puppet centre. Tie five knots in a piece of fabric and you have an instant marionette. I can imaging a giant version as a wonderful installation.
Very spookily, a face appeared of it's own volition. Can you see it? None of my doing - all I did was tie a knot.

Love it, and that face how spooky,
reminds me of those Venetian carnival masks, on a cloaked figure. Very creepy but very clever.
It is creepy isn't it? There is something very sinister about puppets when not in use.
love that face Sally. Helen
