Window [TM]


Three Muses challenge - window
The broken window is an altered photo.  I took the original picture, shown below a few years ago. The sky is also a photo and the lovely bird is from Graphics Fairy.



Below is a covered book [A3] for keeping research on a C&G project. I painted fabric before covering,  the project was about animal skins.

Autumn & Mesmerizing


Three versions of Autumn for the Three Muses challenge
[altered photos, the interesting window in the version below was at Cragside House]



And for the "Illustration Friday" challenge - mesmerizing - I started off with a brush pen doodle and altered it in Paint.Net for a mesmerizing effect [well maybe it would be if you looked at it long enough]

Winter Wonderland

I designed this picture for the Hand Embroidery Network exhibition - Winter Wonderland. I was to register by a certain date & then forward the pictures at a later date, but as I didn't think I would get it done in time, I didn't register. As it happened, the date to send entries was extended, so I would have got it done in time after all. Never mind, I will put it in the 'Layers' exhibition.
Check out the other entries at HEN, there are some really good ones.

Picture  - Paint, running stitch, french knots.
The window - painted heavyweight vilene, plastic, hand stitching.
Deep frame - the window is next to the glass & the snowscene at the back to give the effect of space, looking through a window.



I like the bird
