Steptacular


This is one for the truly dedicated (or 'anoraks', as they are more widely known...). It's a life size tapestry celebrating the genius that was STEPS. Who could forget lyrics such as "A smile's a frown turned upside down" ? Rumours of an impending reunion have so far proved unfounded, but the world still holds its breath in anticipation of Claire's solo album...

Ok, this started out as a joke, but I always wanted to work a really big canvas, and I couldn't think of a subject to suit me. For the techno freaks: it's a 10 hpi canvas, worked in cross stitch with Anchor wool, 250 x 400 sts, and I finished it November 2001. In December, STEPS split up, but to this day I refuse to accept responsibility...
