Challenge

The last part of this weeks course work was to embellish a picture of a photo, my OH took a photo of a daisy field for me so I gave it a go, the actual work is lighter in colour than the photo of it and I think that this sort of picture looks better from a distance, anyway I'll let you all make your own minds up about it.The piece is worked on black felt that has been painted with Lumiere and acrylic paints then felted with pure wool topps, some stitching has been added and embellished over as I didn't like it.

Embellished, Stitched and Enriched?

The weather hasn't been too good this weekend but we had a good weekend at Rutland Water in the Caravan, between walking and reading etc I worked away at my embellished sample (see below) and hopefully enriched it with stitching and beads,I don't have a big stitch repetoire so it is pretty basic but I like it!

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
