Calling all MK Branch Members!
This year you can take your inspiration from anywhere within
the Borough of Milton Keynes and then interpret it onto a canvas frame a mere 8
inches square. MK Branch will provide members with one plain white artist’s
canvass each (8” high x 8” wide x 1” deep); if you want to do more than one
project, we would appreciate a donation of £2 towards the cost.
You may use any technique you like to produce your
embroidery as long as it includes stitching! You could stitch directly onto the
canvass or mount your work onto it. You may fill the space and continue over
the edge of the frame – but not beyond it. You may raise the surface as much as
you like as long as your finished piece can be hung vertically, on a wall,
without falling off or falling down. Your total area available is 8” x 8” plus
the thickness of the frame. If you get close to the deadline with little
progress our 21st June Branch meeting will be a sit & sew
opportunity for a burst of finishing energy.
You also need to provide a photograph (*preferably 5” x 7”)
of your inspiration which can be displayed alongside your piece. Finally, a
brief statement of nor more than, say, 50 words could also be useful.
Judging will be done in the usual way on 12 July 2012 with
the award of a £20 voucher to the winner. BUT the Challenge doesn’t end there.
We will be exhibiting at Milton Keynes Gallery in the City Centre – more news
about this later next week.
