Just two small faces to show :
the Emma Cassi workshop of Stitch Club
was masks / faces in beads.
They "should" be bigger,
but I liked the brooch size more.
(on to the next one !)

The dear Emily Tull came by in Stitch Club again.
I love her work and her workshops !
She is a very talented "thread painter".
This time the subject wasn't (a part of) a portrait
but a fish : a sardine, or any other fish
(or any other subject)
This time I chose a hummingbird because they also
have iridescent colours, much like fish scales.
I finished the aconites for the
Stitch Club workshop by Vinny Stapley.
The new Stitch Club workshop by Vinny Stapley
is with tulle, lace and photo transfers on organdie.
I only have cotton organdie in a very dark purple colour
so that wasn't very useful.
But I do have thin cotton (not as transparant as organdie !)
and I do have very thin silk, so making the transfers
wasn't that big a problem in the end.
To be continued !
(giving my fingers a bit of rest first)
On this last day of the shortest month
seven planets in the sky
and a new moon.
(sadly at that moment there were clouds here
though much later there was a beautiful clear sky)
A good moment to show the last Stitch Club workshop
by Darren Ball that I finished,
It was meant to be with a vintage photo as inspiration
but I don't have those, so I chose something else :
good "old" Maisy
(by Lucy Cousins)
February is nearly at an end and last Wednesday
we had our zoom-meeting with the
UN-PERFECT 10 GRAMS group.
It was a very special challenge this time
because we sent a flat piece of pre-felt
to another member of the group
and she had to use that for the "Carnival" theme.
I had to send mine to Germany,
and I got one from Switzerland.
(that last bit wasn't without silly troubles about import duties !!!)
You were allowed to add some fibers of your own
so in the end my piece weighed 12+ grams
(but : I used ALL of the pre-felt I got !)
January is nearing the end
but I've been busy stitching on a new Stitch Club piece,
a workshop by Dijanne Cevaal
For many years now I've seen her work,
but never was able to do a workshop with her
(until now !)
The lino printing was fun !
I had all the materials at hand so that was no problem, just finding a design
A book I was reading solved that.
