I have ignored this blog for ages but have just decided it's a good way to keep a record of things I have made and given away! I have made about 50-60 of these landscape cards ready for a sale I am going to do at the end of May in aid of India. My daughter is going to work with the street children there in August for a few weeks and they want to buy bits for the children like clothes and craft stuff.
This is a picture I started whilst on holiday in the Isle of Harris last year. It is the view out of the cottage that we stayed in over the sea. I did the basic shape there and brought it home to sew it together and add all the embellishments. The grey rock in the sea and the dark green hill are made from Harris Tweed that I bought there and the little sheep on the rocks in the foreground are made from
sheep's wool I picked up there. I loved doing this picture as we had such an amazing holiday there and it has great memories.
We decided that we would frame it as it will hopefully be a
permanent reminder of Harris and the Outer Hebrides. It cost quite
alot to get it framed but I am pleased with the end result.
This is the latest completed textile picture, inspired by a photo of a sunset. Completed by hand yesterday evening.
This morning, a fresh start. Even though it isn't very warm I feel inspired to do a beachy summer picture! This is only a start and I will no doubt change this alot before the final result.
At last, it's arrived! The postman knocked the door, Wrecks went crazy but my book is finally here!
My son gave me a book token for Christmas but the book has been a long time coming but at last it came.
I ripped the packaging off, ......but didn't open it until I had made a cup of tea, went into the lounge with the book and a cuppa, sat by the window and lost myself in all the gorgeousness of the book.
