Working at The Gallery

I love Tuesdays at The Gallery Dereham, surrounded by art and creative people. The comings and goings are interspersed with me demonstrating mixed media techniques. I was embellishing today. Several people had a try and loved it and want a workshop. Marion came to play too!
Her piece of new work can be seen in the foreground on the table.

I Want One!

Judy really loves embellishing. After a quilck how to and tips on how to use and how some fabrics react to felting she was hooked! her words were"I want one!"

Tuesday at The Gallery 12th Jan 2010

Tuesday morning at the gallery Dereham was interesting today with all the comings and goings.The spaces have been moved round now so there is a gallery and shop area (Hadyn in his Framing workshop and Photography spaces and a workshop and display area for art!

I took the Embellisher and as you can see Judy one of the gallery owners had a go . She had never done embellishing before so tried all the different scraps of fabrics and wools on her sample.

Blue Moon ATC detail

This is the detail of the beading on the ATC. Remember an ATC is only 2.5x3.5 inches, so I have managed to get alot of beads in the corner.
Can you see the Blue Moon bead?

See http://www.art2inspire.co.uk/ for other ATC's I have swapped and watch out for the ones I would like to swap in the future! coming soon!

Beaded Blue Moon ATC

This ATC has been beaded and embroidered. I just need to put the backing on and stamp it ready to send. This one is going to Sheila in Austrailia with Best wishes.

Blue ATC'S

I got inspired last week by The Blue Moon at the start of the New Year and as blue is my favourite colour and I had some ATC'S to make for swaps. I just had to make them in the blues,small versions of the Blue Moon Embellish Page. Here is one of the ATC'S before it has got any beading on it. I embellished fabric scraps onto a piece of felted jumper. The blue circle is a Dorset ring, the start of a Dorset Button. This will then have a bead put inside and beading all round along with french knots.

Blue Beads

Just had to show you a picure of these blue beads before I started using them. Don't they look yummy,ooh!

Embellished Purse

I have posted the embellished purse because I have been asked alot of questions since I originally posted it on a Fibre Arts Network. I made it last year at a workshop given by Sandra Beech. We had to thread wool into a dyed thread tube. Then stitch these threads into two circles with a handle.I then linned my purse. We were then able to embellish it with dyed thread and embellished with beads and embroidery.

Another Snowman!

Jenn built another snowman today. I think he must have said something suprising.

He had already borrowed her scarf!

Just love this!

Blue Moon Embellishment

I thought I would continue embellishing a blue feltwork and embellished piece. I used the Blue Moon we had last Monday as inspiration. This has sparked off lots of other ideas too!

Beading

I decided to do some more beading on the scrim and velvet I started before Christmas.Jenn had caused way to much fun this morning with her new friend! I thought I had better bring some creative normality around here!
