Half finished project - medical embroidery.
My blog is going very slowly at the moment mainly because I have no batteries in my camera so I am using my phone, which is not the best situation but better than putting boring no picture posts, everyone likes visual stimulation! I have been really busy I am in a Guilbert and Sullivan society and we are putting on Iolanthe, a show about fairies and bumbling members of parliament; I have also got exams coming up so revision is trying to enter into it aswell... As I said I should be filling in my personal development plan but to be fair, the site won't load so I actually can't. It is part of my assessment for my course so I will have to get it done at some point! I have had quite a lot of rehearsal time to kill between my scenes so I have gone with one of the latest crazes and started a medical embroidery piece. I am not the best at designing so when I wanted to have a project to keep me busy then embroidering a medical diagram seemed like a good idea, I just had to decide what to do. 
As you can see this is my half finished project, but I chose to depict IVF, invitro-fertilisation. This is the process of extracting eggs from the ovary, fertilising in a petri dish and then implanting back into the womb - cr
eating a 'test tube baby' - or as it should be petri dish baby. I have chosen this process because I am a petri dish baby! I have been given more than a few funny looks now I have got onto the womb section because it is the most recognisable part. I have been asked why I am doing it, is it a competition or for my course? - no. I am doing it for the fun, and I have chosen it for the said reason and because I am just the slightest bit weird. They mostly hone in on the weird comment but then again most of my friends know this already.
I have also jazzed up a couple of 50p wash bags from Tesco, for our raffle at the show. I used the sublime stitching patterns but Kurt Halsey and Julie West to adorn them and then I embroidered with dissolvable stabilising web to
keep the stitches even as the surface is textured. I was quite impressed with how they looked for the cost of them and hope they will make the raffle prize look that bit more worth their while. My fellow members of the society were impressed aswell but not very interested as they were too stressed out with the show being a few days away!
Oh and these are my new glasses, s
ent from LA, I saw them when I visited in August in a lovely vintage eyewear shop just off Melrose Ave. The wonderful owner took my measurements and told me to get in contact if I want to order them and she would send them to me. She was true to her word and these lovely Betsey Johnson glasses arrived a few weeks ago, my boyfriend has not even seen them yet as because of my busy schedule I have not managed to visit him in Oxford recently. (trip booked in less than 2 weeks!) You cannot get anything like these in England, well at least not near me or I am guessing for anywhere near the price I paid! I am really happy with them and at the moment they still have their novelty effect of feeling like a piece of jewelry instead of what they will become, facial furniture, comfortable but unnoticed.
I have also been doing some cartoon embroidery but that is for a semi secret project that may not happen so I won't post about it. I am also trying to design a baby wall hanging. A friend of mine is expecting so I thought I would make a wall hanging but I am as ever having trouble designing, I try most of it at work when I have no people to deal with! My Dad was lovely enough to ask if these were my designs because they looked like a 6 year olds! - Nice Dad! They were supposed to be simplistic and they did bear slogans such as L is for Lion, M is for Mummy, so I could half understand his ignorance! Anyway now I Should Be sleeping so I will finish here.
