I still have not cut out my jacket, but by way of displacement activity, when I was sorting out my folders I found an unfinished sample from C&G days, we had to do a lot of traditional samples, and also do the same technique with a contemporary twist, I had only just discovered the delights of computers at the time, and decided to print out this black and white photograph of my youngest son on to acetate, I did not know at the time you could print or transfer direct onto fabric. I placed it over Aida fabric, and had the bright idea of doing my Blackwork sample, it was a nightmare and you will see from the picture how much I actually did, 'not a lot'
I have a box of unfinished samples, and I am finally going to decide do I finish or dump, this one I would like to finish.

Wow, what a powerful image! But I too would be sadly lacking on the blackwork front.
