Finished pieces of work

Sandra has just finished an experimental piece started when we did dyeing last year.

She cut out bottle shapes in all kinds of natural fibres and then dropped dye and let it make its own way across the fabrics. The uptake of the dye was dictated by the type of fibre.

The bottles and shadows were then embroidered, labels and gold highlights attached.

Sandra said she found it very interesting the way the dye moved across the fabrics and mingled.

Thank you Sandra.

 Ann has just finished her velvet embroidery and it is very beautiful.

She has used a variety of stitches to make the foliage and silver foil to make the large Harvest Moon. I love the leaping hare which is made from a teacake wrapper but all the writing and marks on it contribute to the texture of the hare and gives the appearance of speed.

Well done Ann and thanks for sharing it with us.
