Just a quick post to update you on my persuits........and a couple of Dragonflies !

Hi Folks, still very hot here in the UK ! ! !  I've been playing around with some experimental stuff, take a look.........................

This beauty has been coloured with watercolour pencils, his body
is made up of bullion stitches......love the coloured pencil effect !


much more to do on this  !


Playing with colours and textures.......and this is what happened !
I'm doing a workshop on Friday......think these will be great to teach.


This gorgeous creature flew into my house the other day.........

Fabric art, and Roast beef ...A.perfect Sunday and maybe another secret revealed !

Hi All,Having a relaxing Sunday and playing with all my stash.......Got the sewing machine out and making a very colourful Fabric Art Journal ! This is so much fun, I've got ribbons, beads, charms , Sari waste, sequins, pearls, threads galore and more......take a look.......













Lots more to do on this piece !


This is the book that has inspired me to have a go !
I have also found a new technique for tranferring 
images from print to fabric using PVA glue and this 
is the result that I achieved...................


A superb result ! I can now embroider upon this and
really bling it up using coloured pencils, beads, glitter
etc ! !  Maybe if people show an interest in this technique
I may do a tutorial on it  ? Please do let me know  
if you would be interested in a tutorial...........
I shall continue my creative colourful and 'tasty treat'
Sunday....Blissful........., hope your Sunday is great too! !
