Embellished Flowers

(click on the image to enlarge)

This is the start of a new series of work preparing for an Exhibition

next year based on my 'Art To Embellishment'.

I am experimenting with combining my painting and embellishing.

Some of the images I have taken from photos and sketches

I took or drew in our garden and the gardens we visited this year.

I have still got to add the machine embroidery and the bead embroidery.

I love textures,

so I am enjoying using the different textile techniques.

Newmarket Art and Craft Show

On the way home from the Quilt Show we travel through

Newmarket and decided to go to the Art and Craft Show.

It's like the opposite to Chilford Quilt Show.

Contemporary and glossy artworks and gifts.

Lots to see and buy especially in the food halls!

The tasters were great.

Jenn had the biggest donut ever!

We went up to the top floor and visited

Artist in Residence Roz Lowe.

A ceramics artist, who makes original ceramic

garden worlds. They are like miniature fairy gardens.

I brought an empty pot with a miniature house and garden on it

to put some baby house leeks in.

Her creativity and energy is so wonderful.

Thank you Roz for sharing.

Roz doesn't have a website yet,

maybe one day.

Chilford Exhibition

Jenn and I took ourselves off to Chilford Vineyards

near Cambridge on Friday to visit the

Quilt Exhibition.

There were so many things to see and take in.

I especially liked these wallhangings.

A miss of me but I forgot to take down the makers name

so are putting it out there as a remembrance to

to take details of your favourites and

I like to celebrate the maker along with their websites etc.

If anyone knows the maker and details I would love the feedback.
