We were cutting down a tree damaged by recent storms on Wednesday when suddenly we found this nest with baby birds in, we covered up the nest with branches and luckily the mummy bird understood and kept feeding them, sorry but the photo is a little blurred , but they were sleep and I moved a leaf which was in the way and suddenly all four beaks were open and I just snapped without checking the focus. I checked them Saturday evening and all were well, I checked this evening (Sunday) and they have all flown the nest, well I hope that is what has happened!!!

Lutrador

This piece of work but done to try out the product Lutrador, the background was tissue glued onto watercolour paper with pva and then painted and stamped. Then Lutrador was painted and cut into petals and then wool threads were stitched with machine stitching to create a centre vein, they were then beaded. The stamen centres were pellon cut into heaxagonals and stitched and beaded.
I was very sad when this piece was finished as I really enjoyed the process.

Handbags

Hi Here is my latest handbag, the base is black velvet and that has been transfoiled and then embellished with glitzy fabric and wool pieces and then overlaid with organza and zapped with the heat gun, then beaded. Enjoy
