Despite the snow I've been back to work this week so I thought I would show you some of the beautiful things my students have been making. The class that have been stitching on metals mostly decided they would like to make bookmarks rather than cuffs, with fabulous results and this is just a selection of the finished items.
And Ann used her stitched metal to decorate the front of this gorgeous velevet evening bag.
In my City and Guilds class, the students have been finishing off design work on texture and have presented their finished pieces in different ways. Gill (aka
Vintage rock chick) put hers into a book
Janet presented hers on a board.
Another board from Linda C. but very different from the previous one.
And yet another completely different board from Linda W
They have also finished off some stitch samples to show manipulation of fabric - a framed panel from
Angela.
A fabulous bag with panels of manipulated fabrics from
GillA zigzag book of manipulated fabrics from Janet
A panel of manipulated textures from Linda C.
And a beautiful cushion from Linda W.
This is what I love most about teaching - the wonderful variation that comes from the same class and the same basic instruction. It constantly delights me. Well done ladies!
Ooh Gina - I feel famous now my work is on your blog! Had a great day yesterday and in the evening went to a Knit and Wine evening at a local pub. Now about to start stitching again x
