Bolliwood Turrets

Jeanette is layering her Bolliwood Turrets so they are 3D.

If you look at the two pictures you will may just

spot the difference.....

The door decoration has been changed.

The small bells which are in the picture directly above

were a little too big and heavy for the piece.

So, Jeanette took them off and sewed the

sequins and beads on instead.

They really do the trick!

This is going to be an amazing finished piece.

Textile Dream Tree

Pippa has now cut out her textile tree

and is working on the mixed media background.

Next week it is adding in the leaves and "Grounding",

the tree and then the adding

of all the wonderful objects to hang from the

branches.

Dreams and wishes as well as

pieces with special meaning.

I love these pieces where artists can explore their

creativity and learn techniques which they can

develop later in other pieces.

Pippa is really getting to grips with her

sewing machine which was on her

wish list to learn.

Keep watching!

Wallhanging

Stella is making a wallhanging for her Grand Daughter's

birthday.

It has to be very contemporary and within certain

colour restraints due to the decoration in the intended's home.

It also contains Stella's Daughter's dress, so there

is going to be a heritage piece too!

(It is the white material with the black flowers).

All the fabrics were vintage or recycled so

it's clever aswell!

I always like quilts that follow the tradition

of patchwork and quilting.

Embellished Needlecase

Stella made an embellished felt needlecase.

She had a very small one which had been made

for her by a Brownie over 20 years ago.

(See picture above)

It was a shame to put this aside so

it was sewn inside the new case.

A lovely item and keepsake.

It made us all smile:)

Gallery Day 8th March 2011

Carol is beginning a new wallhanging using a 1930's

window as inspiration.

She is using the "Stained Glass Window" patchwork technique.

Here it is all cut out and ready for the bias binding that goes

in between the pieces to make it look like a stained glass

window.

This will look very striking when it's finished.

Well done, Carol.
