How often after workshops do we end up with lovely bits, too delicious to throw away, but not big enough to make into anything? Well - here is a way to keep the gorgeous bits safe and sound and ready to be referenced at any time - and it's fun to show off to friends as well!!
These are all works by my clever students - some finished, some just started - many meditative hours to follow to hand stitch on special pages.
We talked a lot about design, and how to make the various elements would work together. I really love the results and the individual solutions A big congratulations to all the participants - it was such a fun and inspirational workshop.
What clever and inspirational students you had, wish I had been taking part in it.
