Rust Cloth finished for this winter season

Winter is officially over. Mother nature helped thru the winter to keep the cloths wet as I rusted the cloth.

Soo this is the last Batch for now.

The black splotches on these pieces is where I had some teabags lying on top.

And a small boudoir cushion made with rust cloth for the ruffle and the flat flowers. On a base of my own textured fabric.

Happy stitching

Upcycling vintage.

Again a different style to my shabby work.

These 2 were being worked on just before the February quakes and

its time they reappeared. :)

This first one was worked on a very distressed vintage piece that I rescued.

I used a sketch of some metal flowers .

Sorry no photo of them.

This second piece was made from scratch with layers of

calico, then teabags, tulle and a strip of fabric.

Stitched with perle cotton.

Slightly bigger than an A4 page.

As per usual, I havn't

decided how to hang/display these.

Not interested in that part.

Its the stitching that rules the roost. :)

I still have the Glory Box that I had as a teen and its

filling up rapidly with my work.Plus a rolled up stack AND a vintage art folder full of embroideries and needlepoints.

My creations dont need a reason to be made. I just have to do it.

Is anyone else like this??

Happy hoarding

Background Play

Playing with backgrounds again.

Close-ups are always fun.

Back grounds for Contemporary pieces

I tend to make up background pieces from time to time just for the heck of it.Some may never get used.

Stitched Bird on Rust Cloth

Birds are very popular these days and sooooo.

Photographed in 2 different lights.

My little birdy has the white feather under the chin for the NewZealand Tui.

No plans for him just yet.

Stitched for the pleasure of stitching. :)
