Work in Progress

Mother's day card. 2013. Got glue everywhere !

The story so far. Starting on the sandy bottom in the corners. Have put the border on the bottom so can go over the edges. ps to self about tidying up that desk ?

Butterfly stitch couching holding down a net that had lemons in it. Does this look like seaweed ? Too bad, this is art lol :-)

Attempt at making cast on stitch scallop shells. Note, using alternating directions for the loops like macramé makes them lest twisty.

Knotted feather stitch seaweed.  Hmmm. I'm learning all the time. Needed a bit more bend to shape the rock a bit more. Not going to undo it tho, this is supposed to be playing.

Not sure what creature this is, but it's made with whipped wheel over a big bead. The beads are on the wheel right at the beginning. Wool is new to me. Interesting.

Drizzle stitch hermit crab eyes. Made me giggle anyway. Looped in alternate directions like macramé so they're not twisted.

French Knot and Wheatear Stitch

'French knot Starfish'

 French knot Starfish. Attempt at drawing perspective. TAST week 15.

'Jar by Ruth'

Jar made for me by Ruth. Now full of beads.

Fern

Stitch 16: Wheatear stitch 'Fern'. Flower threads. Got comments for the violin heads. Finally making myself learn to use a hoop. First pic on my sampler piece using a lovely bit of linen given me by Bev my sister. Felt brave to do something on a big piece of material :-)

'Sea Picture'

Attempt at a sampler picture. Weed made with ribbon ruched, couched down cord, and bugle beads left overs of Ruth's. Such fun using this twinkly treasure.

'Shoal of Minnows'

Detatched Stitch 16: Wheatear stitch 'Shoal of Minnows'. Bugle beads present from Ruth. Made the mistake of using shiny thread - had to do mortal combat with it to get it to lie down. Got a mention on the Pintangle TAST 5 featured pieces !
