Finished pieces of Work

 Goldwork Turtle - Wendy Barrington

Wendy has completed this fantastic goldwork turtle in muted shades of pink and green. The basic shape has been made by layering up felt.

Layered felt base.

The patches are faux leather and the infill is Goldwork wire that has been cut and applied like beads. The longer lengths have been couched down.

Purl and Check Purl Goldwork wire

The round coiled wire is called purl and the sparkly square coiled wire is check purl. Beads have been attached for the eyes.

Wendy has a wonderful eye for detail and impressive concentration that has resulted in this wonderful turtle.

Thank you Wendy.

Embroidered Wreath - Bev Mouncey

Bev has embroidered this very pretty pale blue wreath with a pop of pinky-red. She has decorated the wreath with delicate handmade roses made from ribbon.

She has turned it into a patch for a bag by embroidering a frame of chain and interlacing stitch picking out the colours of the wreath.

Thank you Bev.

Rya Bee - Sandra Kendall

Sandra has just finished her fluffy bee by using rya stitch and then trimming the loops. She has used chain stitch for the legs and made the wings with a sheer over wire, stitching on the machine.

The flower has been made by looping over a pencil and then passing a needle through the loops, attached to the background for the petals.

Thank you Sandra
