Another leaf piece. This one is hand stitched to paper fabric, copper card with couched rayon yarns. Had real problems with this one, could not get the colours right, had to go on a leaf hunt to find the ultimate leaf!

My daughter is coming to visit at the weekend so expect I will be quiet for a few days. Have been finishing up stuff so I can pack away for her visit, then I have ideas for more multi media works.

Another of my multi media works. Painted water colour background, Tyvek painted and layered with sheers then heat treated, couched yarns, beading, fish charm and turtle cloisonne bead. Its a pretty piece, has turned out well.

I have been experimenting lately with hand work on paper. This piece is painted Bondaweb ironed onto card and foiled. Couched yarns, hand made plastic bag bead, beaded. This was fun to make, lots of metallics, hence the title.

Japanese round robin

I sent off the blocks last week, am now awaiting the next round which will be the last round but one, I think. Am very keen to see what the girls have done to my block. Then I will have to work out what I am going to do with them.

Has been so hot lately I have not been spending much time at the computer, will try to mend my ways once the weather cools down a bit.
