A Weekend Away Catching UPwith Creative Friends!

10th December 2018

A lovely friend met me at Reading Station and we travelled down to her holiday home in Topsham, a delightful old village near Exeter with narrow streets, interesting cobbled alleyways and fabulous properties with a beautiful view of the estuary.....




....the sun peeped out for this photo!!


On Friday we travelled down to Totnes to visit another friend and mooched round the little shops which were packed with hand crafted items, so many beautiful things, then lunch in a vegan cafe which was delicious, back to our friends where we stitched and chatted....

...these will be made into cards...




....one of my purchases, a heart made from tiny red bells...


....today made some tea-light holders...



....and three more brooches as friend had asked me for a red one....

....started off by making a felt base...


....added organza, threads, feathers and beads...




...the feather one is my favourite!

Mixed Media Brooches

4th December 2018

Had a very enjoyable relaxing day yesterday in my craft room making brooches for a little craft stall I am doing today.....

I bought this hand made button years ago at a show, stitched it on wool felt fabric from my stash....
  

....started this on pre felt and used my embellisher to add silk and threads, needle felted shades of organza and beads....


....organza and silk fabrics...


...wool felt, silk scrim beads...



...organza on dark grey wool felt, organza, beads and hand stitching...


....embellished felt a shell and beads...






....so much fun to make and mounted most on a small square card.
