Sarah Appleton - Textile Artist Blog

Hello cyber space rangers! Remember a while ago I said I was pining to do more embroidery pieces like the days of yore? Well, I have been stitching long and hard for the last two days solid (not kidding) to bring you this fine work: I used the textile sample I was harping on about here . OK I know it's a little wonky at the bottom but I'm not re-doing it because I made it for me and I don't tend to mind if things aren't 'perfect' when they're for myself. The next step is probably to turn it into a cushion cover but for now have some more pictures as it stands: A long time ago, in a blog far far away... Aaaaand for fellow needle nerds; the back of my work: This post was inspired by Rice Krispies, not enough sleep and mix CDs!

Hexopus is back (did he ever go away?)! This time he has dressed up as David Bowie (or Cherie Currie?) with a sparkly lightning bolt just like thisssss: Well maybe not just like it but a good affort anyway, well done Hexopus! If you like him so much that you want to take him home go rescue him from here ! And if you're thinking you might have seen something like this before; maybe you are thinking of this ! This post would not have been possible without the help of Jurassic Park III!

He's back! Back in badge! I was talking to the Hexopus a couple of weeks ago and he said that what he'd really like most in the world would be to be all 3D and come alive to be all up in everyone's collective face. So I helped him and now he looks a bit like this: Badgers or Hexopi? And a lot like this: And then I took him over to Number 83 and the humans there said that he was 'cute' and they'd help him get out and about in the world. We didn't let on about his sinister secret plans or anything. If you want to visit the Hexopi you can see them at Number 83, Poole Road, Westbourne - I also plan to make some for online very soon!

Oh hai earthlings! Here I am, I haven't left you. I was made redundant from my 'real job', so I have been spending some time hiding like a hedgehog. But now I am back and I am here to say that you can now buy the lovely Hexopus of my Mind in several new colourways! And the colourways would be: orange, green and metallic purple! Orange you glad? Green McSpleen Metallica Available from both my Folksy and Etsy shops. Also now available is this little number: Neonderthal From my Folksy shop . That's it for now! All I want for Christmas is Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Kenickie, Space, Spaced and My So Called Life.
