Or rather, all the photos from an exhibition and what to do with them next. Do you ever take the time to go through them, or do they just languish on your phone once the moment has passed?
Hi. I'm flattered to see some of my work on your blog, thank you (the leaves and tags). Yes I take photos at exhibitions too, as a reminder of things that catch my interest. I'm very bad at deleting them, to the frustration of my IT husband who can't believe the size of the files and folders on my laptop! Different things catch my interest - sometimes it's just two colours next to each other, or sometimes a shape. Little things, and I like to have a visual reminder.
You’re welcome! I love all your things. Yes, it’s exactly that - a particular colour combination, a shape, a pattern or mark. My photo collection is…out of hand!!
Interesting! I do take photos at exhibitions (paintings not stitch) but end up deleting most of them when I get home as I like to feel inspired but don't want them to be too influential in my work. But my big take away from this is how looking at the majority of these textiles does nothing for me at all - and before everyone jumps down my throat, I'm not saying they are not skilled etc, they are just not for me or to my taste. Nice colours, interesting textures, skilled stitching... but lacking something, which I know won't be a popular opinion!
Also interesting!! I know what you mean about lacking something. I wouldn’t put all of the ones I featured on my wall necessarily, but there was still something there that sparked something. And in terms of deleting, you’re too good…I really should but 🤷🏻♀️
I truly enjoyed myself as I scoured your pictures! I enlarged them to get a better view of the different fabrics, papers, threads and the many different stitches that the artist chose. I can never thank you enough for the amazing pictures and then sharing what you enjoyed about them. I of course loved yours! Is your small piece on the top row available for purchase? I have the perfect spot for it!
Oooooh, you’re welcome and thank you! The beaded piece? I’m not sure if it’s been sold but I can check. Feel free to send me a message and we can chat. I think you can message me here, there must be a link somewhere - or drop me an email via my website 🥰
Oh my how lovely! What a wonderful exhibition and so many varied pieces of work. Thank you for sharing what you loved and why. Your own are stunning! :)

But you know how ruthless I am at deleting and getting rid of stuff! (I did quite like the one with the leaves)
Oops! I forgot! I try to use my pictures for inspiration and then they languish. I love when I come across them much later.
Interesting isn’t it, going back months and years later and rediscovering them and seeing if they still spark.

Thank you Jodie! Thought that people further afield would like a little look around the exhibition ☺️
