Thought that it was about time....

that I posted some of my stuff on this blog - or should I say my 'creations'?

The first is a detail of a wall panel using vintage kimono fabric as a background on which I have embroidered fans using threads and yarn scraps to create the shape. The panel is called 'Fantastic' - well what else would it be called?

The second pic is a detail of a crocheted bag which is one of my first pieces. The bag is embellished with buttons and glass beads and embroidery and hand-made beads. The shape of the bag is triangular and is probably more suited to be displayed as an objet d'art rather than a handbag. It is lined with silk.

The third piece is an elaborately decorated handbag, lined in silk style fabric and heavily embellised using the sewing machine in addition to hand embroidery....
and last of all is a small embroidered panel using the same technique of building up a surface with machine couching and embroidery.
