FABRIC BOOK

A preview of my latest work! This collection of animals has taken me the best part of a fortnight to complete! Just need to create a cover for them now! And a box to store the book in!

WORKSHOPS with TRISHA

VASE covered with machine embroidered silkpaper.

FABRIC BOWL

Gold organza layered over gold satin (scraps from UWIC smoking project)was used to make this fabric bowl.

Machine satin stitch over choclate wrappers created the design on each panel. Matching blue and orange beads (from my grandfather's tray stash), complete the bowl.

Must make more, now I know how!!
