Into The Blue etc.....

Into the Blue

This page made for Jenni is mainly made up of papers from my stash. There is some handmade paper printed with a home made kebab stick print block. Other painted and printed papers, scrim and some fabric Jenni and I made at a workshop with Lynda Monk. Some painted lace, beads and a flower complete the page.





For Margaret

I have been working in greens quite a lot during the last year. Including a Chairman's challenge for my WCE group. So this colour was at the top of the pile. I had intended to use my Embellisher with the felt pieces in quite a free way as Margaret loves all things felted but something took over and the page became a sort of "knot" garden. Both French and Bullion!! I did enjoy this piece.




Cut the Mustard

My final page is for Debbie who requested mustard/ochre. This piece of fabric which has been in my stash for a long time jumped out at me and said "now you can use me" I cut silk fabric and paper in triangles to follow the pattern. Covered the whole with two layers of sheer fabric and machined in place. I then cut back in places to reveal some of the triangles. I machined couched some hand dyed thread and used a set pattern for more decoration. Baby hearts complete the page.




Keep enjoying all this extra time for stitching!!
