for Textiele plus .
I finished some of the knitting pieces so now I have more time for other things.
The first piece wil one day be a quilt the little pinguin is painted ,,, I did not now if I could do it but I think it is not so bad for the first time painting on facric. I hope you agree

the second piece is felt not on the embellisher but wet felted.
I love the structuur of wet felt .

I am very pleased with the result

velvet

manipulation of velvet a little piece of velvet fabrick is laying around for a long time a lovely blue color .
I cut some pieces and punched it with the embellisher on the backside and scrim .
This piece was also cut in pieces that I mounted on the velvet piece that was not worked on with the embellisher .

a book is finnished

The art journal for the FAF swap is finished it was so much work but it is turned out very nice
this is a very great way to bind a book .
I used plastic mesh a flat piece you can cut it up in little pieces it is firm enough to hold its shape without being so stiff it is easy to work on .

front page

I am working on the FAF art journal and I hade to make one more page the backside of the book ,

But this wil turn out to be the front of the book .

The green fabrick is silk that I punched with the embellisher in the middle there is a piece embriodery with some beads

I realy love this way of embriodery I used onely 2 stitches the Frenchknot stitch and the Herringbone stitch

these are my favoriet stitches with some fantasie yarn it look so good

book binding and more pages

The TAST pages are coming on very well and for the binding of the book I tryed the FAF pages they are ready for binding
I used many little threads and I think it turned on very pretty
so I now howe to put the TAST book togheter

A wonderful gift and work in progres

The first picture is of an necklace I got from a friend she made it for me yes I am a lucky girl

the next picture is some felted and beaded work do you remember the fabrick from my friend Willie ,, wel I am working on it and I think it is turning out great .
