Little morsels

     
  I've just added several rings and brooches to my french knot embroidered range.These join the other hand embroidered brooches and buttons now on my Etsy shop.
  For some of the brooches I have used a hand treated devore velvet and only embroidered into the gaps.This was an excuse to use some of the rayon threads from Stef  Francis that I have been hoarding as the sheen of the rayon went perfectly with the velvet.
 The rings use some of the beautiful Gloriana silks that I have a particular passion for.

There are also some of my newer range of buttons with raised work on them inspired by rocks and moss.

..and lastly a new colour way for the 1930's inspired flower border range.... a dark blue delphinium!

Elsewhere

Elsewhere in my blog universe......
The Museum for Objects of Vertu is beginning a five part online exhibition of its collection of shadows, mostly on film so they are, in fact, shadows of shadows.
Thread Management is now documenting my experience as an observer during surgery.


and then I too am elsewhere because I will not be exhibiting at the Knit and Stitch show this year.
I will be here in Cambridge at the CRASSH seminar on Wednesday the 5th,

and here at the Guild of Needlelaces on Saturday the 8th.

and if you miss me at Alexandra Palace don't forget you can buy on Etsy, or just email me if there was something that you remembered but isn't on the shop.

see you somewhere......
