Silk, mirrors, French knots and scrim
Embroidered buttons and a wrapping cloth with an edge of embroidered prairie points
A stack of 'little books of colour' that I made.Mounted samples, hand embroidery.
Painting, a design sheet. The little sweets are ''rainbow drops''.
A wrapping cloth for Helen.
White puffs on a ledger page.
Pleated silk, mirrors and scrim.
Bullion knots, silk, cutwork, scrim.
One of the first pockets I ever made. The pink printed cloth is a scrap from my Great Grandmothers nightdress.
The embroidery on the cover of this book, the flower with different petals.....that is my work. I do not have any work inside this book, I do have a credit for the cover image. That will do for me....
I visited my old blog on Sunday. The person who very kindly bought this mentioned that she had purchased another piece of mine some time ago so I went in search of images of that piece. Sadly the images of that piece are quite poor. (I actually cannot believe how poor some of my early images were) I can't show you those but I did want to share these.
Half of my life is on my old blog, so many memories, so many identifiable chapters of my online life. I loved browsing over there, I stayed for hours. I scrolled back through months, years of work, of happenings, I loved it........
I hope you enjoy seeing these pieces again as much as I have.
