Let Them Eat Cake

Apple cake for social stitching today, very nice with a cup of tea.

Iv'e finished the necklace and I'm very pleased with it. I'm not sure whether I should put some sort of backing on it, maybe felt, it just feels a little scratchy.

Our new sign is up and looking good.

As for the rest of it.........well lets just say it's work in progress.

The Last Project

This is my last project for my City and Guilds. It's going to be a necklace made from sheer fabric. It has taken a long time to get the right flower shape and in the end it all came down to a 50p piece.

Here you can see the relevance of the 50p. I ended up with a very nice shape and size I was a little worried how the flower would look as the flower shape had no detail on it. The detail was stitched in and it's worked very well I can already see other uses for these flowers.



Here's a close up of the stitched flowers.

Now all I need to do is decide on the shape of the necklace, how many flowers I will need and how to join it all together and of course make the flowers.
