4th January 2009

This was taken from my garden on the last day of what should have been a picture a day for a year. I started a few days late compared with the friends who have also been doing this.

Inspiration

Took this at the doctor's a few days before Christmas. Guess who's books I had been reading?

Christmas

Nothing more Christmassy than this in terms of flowers.

Hey there!

This was taken at a friend's house just before Christmas...

Sorry

Sorry there has been such a long break in the sequence, a combination of the winter lurgies and Christmas got in the way. I hope to do better from now on. I did take a few pictures during the interval and have uploaded them today for your delectation!

Pretty in pink

Playtime in New York

Based on the technique shown today on http://magstitch.blogspot.com/

Thanks Maggie!

Evening light tonight

Another abstract

I made this one from This picture on Frances Caple's Blog (with permission) http://islandthreads.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/318francescaplemoretextures.jpg

I think it looks like the landscape where the pebbeles were found!

Catalogue killing progress

Looks like the two at the front are ready for the disinfectant now!

In my garden today!

What do you think this is?

These Smell lovely!

WIP finished

This is the image from yesterday finished except that I need to decide how to mount it.

Second day of the embellisher workshop

Isobel's lovely colourful table. Work in progress

Sylvia's lovely work... again WIP. Sylvia is especially good at the marbled technique .... back left.

Work in progress on one of my pieces. I was working from a design of Maggie's as I had to miss the design stage of the class. I like this technique so much that I will surely be doing images of my own very soon. Completed image soon.

Show and tell at the end of the session, Maggie is in the centre of the picture.
There will be more pictures on my other Blog later. (http://www.dorothy-pandorasbox.blogspot.com/ )

Day one of an embellisher class with Maggie grey

These are my first two pieces, a sampler and a marbled background

Not a very nice day at my hotel.
