Ferocious and Tassels


The theme for Illustration Friday is 'ferocious'. I had a spell of drawing weird creatures so I thought I would use one of those.
This week I've been having a sort out in the loft as we are getting some more insulation, actually it needed a good sort out anyway, but the insulation was the incentive. I evidently did tons of work when I did my City & Guilds & Degree, boxes of the stuff, so some of it has to go and I thought I would photograph it before I say tarar to it. Some I've already dumped, not photographed, some I'm hanging onto until I do photograph it and some I don't know whether I will actually part with when push comes to shove. Below are the photos of some tassels I did for City & Guilds [embroidery]

Tassels and Illustration Friday

We had an enjoyable day at Chatsworth House during the week. These are photos of some of the curtain tassels we saw there, so intricate, they must have taken ages to make. I did attempt making tassels when I was doing the City & Guilds course - I wasn't very good at it, too fiddly for me.

Illustration Friday challenge this week is 'Spooky'. I digitally altered one of my old felted pieces based on 'The Scream' by E. Munch. The top left square is the original, as is the full picture at the bottom. I like the two on the top right and the one on the bottom right the most.
