Finished Pieces of Work

 Alison H. has finished her silk pieces. The first piece, she has embroidered into her pieces of silk paper containing dried flowers and completed the bright, colourful, piece with a pretty red flower in the centre.

The second piece is the silk impressed over a wooden block to reveal the pattern and then the edges have been "fuzzied" to make the pattern look as if floating in the air.

Thank you Alison, the pieces are bright and colourful contrasting with the neutral.

Sandra has completed her silk pieces.

Sandra made her bowl out of silk fibres glued together. She then decorated the top edge with colourful flowers made from silk cocoons.

The silk paper containing dried petals she has displayed over an artist's canvas. Because the paper was very busy she decided to leave it as it was without embroidery.

The final piece has used the impressed silk humming bird which was painted with vibrant colours. The bird was then embroidered with metallic thread to try and reproduce the iridescent feathers. An hibiscus flower was made from silk for the humming bird to feed on!

Thank you Sandra for the pretty pieces.
