A pencil teapot for Mobilia- I hope I can figure out how to make it work. As in, finish it, haha.

Merry Go Round is quilted and in the process of having the binding attached. It'll be ready to go on my bed in no time!

This shows machine embroidery on to a sandwich of chiffon, knitting and a cotton base.

The wool fibres of the knitted piece have been trapped behind the chiffon, but when I burn away the chiffon with a heat gun, some of the fibres will spring back.

This shows a close up of the machine stitching. I have put a layer of chiffon over the velvet which has been embellished with embossing crystals.

Some of the crystals are very thick so I avoided stitching over them.

I will now burn away the chiffon with a heat gun.

Work in Progress

Background still needs work and the odd bit of tweaking. Almost there

It will become a wide angle pinhole camera.

Progress.

First four fillings complete

Ready to be iced, hopefully they won't be eaten by the owls lurking inderneath them.

Finished up the background on Bandit and will grout this weekend.

Awaiting teeth and eyes.

The Musk Orchid can reproduce vegetatively and so it is common to find them in pairs, clumps and groups.

getting ready to tie in another thread & work the 4th pass, then the beaded band will be rolled together and woven into a round rope

some beads for another project have started sneaking onto my work tray (pretty pink porcelain donut)

BUT now i'm going to crochet, I think I will finish my green scarf today. I don't feel any real urgency to finish this beadwork, just enjoying the process, very zen.

Another go at the image I took last week though this time it's on a tripod.

5x4 is at the hospital...

I am re-visiting stumpwork and I have unearthed some old pictures from a time when I used to teach this subject.

I have put aside my womens' suffrage studies to ready myself for the General Election which should be in the early part of this year.

I have always made a piece for the Election, and this year I thought that I would revisit stumpwork and in particular the padded faces I used to embroider. These would be interesting made into political jewellery.

Watch this space!

I sat for two and a half hours last night, painting the watercolour paper with water and rubbing it with my finger.

This had two results: it broke up the surface of the paper, so that the paint will sink in, and it gave a distressed effect to the whole piece.

Also, my finger was sore!
