Woven Experiment No.66 - 6mm wax coil held by sewing

Woven Experiment No.66 - 6mm wax coil held by sewing.
I actually sewed this sample together with a needle and thread to see if it would work. It was very difficult to pass the needle through the wax and I ended up pushing the needle through my finger tip! After purchasing a thimble I continued. The movement of the needle passing through the wax caused it to weaken and snap. I won’t be sewing anymore wax together with a needle. #lostwax #sewing #art

Military Boots by Joy Pitts

This is my Gt,Gt Uncle Private Herbert Godfrey 266313 part of the 1st/7th Bn. Sherwood Foresters Notts & Derby reg who died on the 1st July 1916 at the Battle of the Somme. He is remembered on the Thiepeval Memorial, France and the War memorial in St Leodegarius, Basford, Nottingham.

A fellow artist Joy Pitts has been commissioned to create a new art work called “Military Boots” in which she has asked members of the public to remember their family past and present who have served in The Armed Forces.

Here is my tag, chain stitched in orange thread and reads “H.Godfrey”, now I’m going to post it to the artist and look forward to it becoming part of the art work.

The Crochet has progressed into circles which I find very difficult, especially trying to remember where I began.
