A collage of the sewing box

Somehow my mind’s meanderings led me to doing some drawings and a collage over a long weekend.

Using scrap pieces of different papers and card, some donated by local artist Christine Walker, and wools from the sewing box itself, I spent hours drawing the box and then creating this collage. “What’s all that kelterment?” is one of mum’s sayings. She often stopped what she was doing because “The men will want feeding”. The men being her husband and sons as a rule. She is peeping out at the top left. I like using words in my art work. Not everything can be expressed without them. Kelterment (her word for rubbish or disordered random things) was added at the very end of term.
