Saying goodbye !

To all those who have supported me over the last couple of years, I thank you........
I am taking a rest from blogging and ELLAS CRAFT CREATIONS will have no further posts......... I shall from time to time pop up on facebook with my creations........If  I decide to create a new blog in the future, I will make sure that the name of the blog gets out there................The reason for my abrupt end is simple........Its the end of an era for me!!! I wish you all well in your craftiness,
                                    Godbless xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Zenith 2 and my glorious inspiration !

Hello dear friends, well I've started my Zenith 2 and I'm loving it..............

I sooooo love this colourway....its so vibrant and unusual !

I've always struggled with 'colour', well I thought I did till I was told last week that I was a 'Colour guru' and inspired people..........Well that is my no.1 goal, to inspire you all to create beauty whether you are a Card making artist (

http://stampsandpaper.blogspot.co.uk/...............A photographer............http://michaelgoodes.blogspot.co.uk/..........or just someone who loves to play with needle and thread http://queeniepatch.blogspot.co.uk/...........

I adore my hobby and really admire the skills of others, there are many talented souls out there to inspire us !

Watch my progress week by week and I hope that I will 'enchant ' you !

Standing in my garden just as the sun was going down, I took this shot and it gave me such wonderful 'colour' inspiration for Zenith 2......Take a look........

I was blown away by this and I know how very lucky I am to see this from my back garden........This one's for you Mike and Sue !

Have a colourful and magical week......I'm off now to make some Green tomato and chilli chutney with my new huge 'Jam kettle'.......Thanks for popping in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ZENITH 1 Completed !

Hello dear friends, today I completed ZENITH 1 and this is it...........

So very pleased with this piece! I have had many people approach me, wanting to buy this piece.......I have decided that I will do a series of four in a  similar format with different colourways !

I have accented certain parts with a little bead and used many different needlepoint

patterns and threads. I feel this piece is well balanced and very pleasing to the 

eye !

Just to cover all bases.......This series will be for sale and I am open to offers!

It has been great for my ego, that people want to buy my work and to those people,

I thank you.......This evening I shall start ZENITH 2 and shall be showing my progress at regular intervals !

Thank you all for your wonderful support.......It makes it all worthwhile !!!

Its bank holiday here in the UK and I have had such a fun week end......

This is a few of us at the bottom of my garden, 

Thanks for popping by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A little birdie told me.............

Hello dear followers, firstly I apologise for not returning with my last project finished !  I procrastinate far too much , I need my knuckles rapped......tut tut naughty girl ! The trouble is that I have so much creative energy that I flit from one project to another, so please forgive me......So enough waffle, here is a little something I have made for my Grandaughter as a gift for passing her swimming certificate.....Ella-mae, I love you so much ,well done sweetheart.........

My watercolour background with a myriad of different stitches and mostly perle threads

I just love the colours and the simplicity of this little embroidery !

I have also started a geometric Canvaswork design....take a look

This sort of needlework really intrigues me and is such fun to do !

So watch this one grow.............

I am off again on holiday tomorrow....We are going to Woodland Leisure Theme Park in Devon and taking Ella-mae with us, boy are we gonna have fun !!!

Hope to show you something on my return......Wherever you are and whatever you do, have a great week.......Thank you for popping into my world, I do appreciate it 

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh almost forgot......This is my grandson Toby,

such an intelligent little boy, dont you think !!

Love you little man !

Folies Bergère.......The unity of watercolour and stitch !

Hi folks, well its still well hot here in the UK ! I love modern art and I came across a phenomenal piece of art the other day and I just new that I could interpret this piece into some great stitching !

This is the image .........I used my 'Transfer Tutorial' technique for the outlines and then I set about painting the fabric........Although the colours have come out lighter than anticipated, I am really delighted with the outcome.......Take a look.................

I hope to complete this piece in the next few days ! I thought maybe some of you would like to see this piece in progress and I would like to show you some of the close ups...............

I adore the french knot eyelashes !

And the crisscross feathers in the head dress !

Bullion knots and beads in her hair !

The pretty variegated leaves..........

I do hope that you like this piece and I shall show the completed picture in a few days.........Meanwhile thank you for dropping by and have a great week end !

                                         loving these stitches and colours  !!

I would like to show you this book that has so inspired me.................
