Unfinished

This piece is made up of a base of foil on felt covered with snips of wool, scrim and silk etc. overlaid with chiffon then felted into the base felt, the next process is to embellish it with embroidery stitches and beads.

ATCs for a change

Managed to make three atcs for the stockpile, altho I love working with fabric I still enjoy papercrafts so need to get an even balance of both.

Beautiful!

I just received this atc from Margreet in Holland, it has taken four weeks to get here but was certainly worth the wait, it is knitted and embroidered, a little work of art!! and I love it.

Embellisher Course

I am really enjoying this online course, but having to 'juggle' everything to get it all done. This sample is wool topps embellished on to scrim for the background and wool and silk topps again on scrim for the flowers, I will perhaps use this in a larger piece one of these days.Looking forward to seeing what this weeks instalment will bring.( Please note - this isn't the only result of a weeks work!!!)

Just for Connie

Dressed for Dinner

Just love this Rubic cube idea.

Just a few

Below a slideshow of a few photo's from our cruise holiday in the 'med, part of this was to Italy, which was a first for us so we visited all the famous - must see - places, in scorching heat and me with a painful knee, perhaps the reason i don't smile too well on the photos. The top photo is showing Mount Vesuvius overlooking the bay of Naples, a sad visit for me as it reminded me of my dad who was stationed there during the war in 1944 when Vesuvius last erupted, I have included a photo of that event that Dad brought home with him. The Barcelona market was fantastic, the stalls all works of art the way they were so perfectly set out and ' colour matched' so I just had to take pics in there. In the chocolate stall photo OH is trying to get to the stall but the lady is determined to keep sweeping ( dust all over the chocs - oh dear.)
