I would like to show you a couple of ongoing projects that I so enjoy doing.........
But that are so very different in style........Take a look..............
This is a watercolour background that I used on a silk napkin and transferred the design with a normal pencil and an embossing tool....now you're asking, whats that all about, well an explanation will be revealed soon !
I love the 'softness' of this piece and the light and airy colour pallette...........
I will do a tutorial on transferring designs onto fabric if I get enough interest !!!!
My second piece is a lovely Maiden, mostly in Needlelace.............
Isnt she lovely...........................................
A couple of close ups to show the technique.......................................
Well have a good week folks and thank you for popping by..........look out for the tutorial coming soon.........................................xxxxxxxxx
P.S. This is my sons band, on the cruise ship 'VENTURA' !!!!!!!!!!
