Finished Pieces of Work

 Wendy B. has finished her delightfully tactile white-tailed bumble bee. He is extra soft and fluffy from the closely packed rya stitch that makes you want to touch him.

The wings have been edged with buttonhole stitch over wire and sheer fabric with the veining stitched on the sheer.

Thanks Wendy he is wonderful.

Sandra has carried out a little experiment. The day we did the Forest Floor embroidery was frosty and snowy and Sandra decided she would turn one of the green embroideries frosty.

After completing the embroidery mainly in green she then passed a roller of white paint over the top after most of the white paint had been rollered off onto newspaper. The result is above with a few sprinkles of glitter and beads.

Thank you Sandra and I believe the experiment is worth trying again.
