Gesso backgrounds

Good Morning everyone. Well I had a lovely play day yesterday was lovely In the garden so I went outside to enjoy the fresh air, and I done some interesting backgrounds to use a s base for some embroidered books.I used stencils and gesso among other things . Then I painted them using some luminaire paints and also some fabric paints.
I'm hoping to do some book covers with the fabrics once I've stitched into it and added some beads.

Purse workshops

Good Morning.
Well I've woke up to a lovely spring morning , fresh and sunny which is the best weather for me as it doesn't inflame my MS so I'm happy as I have a busy day today as I am going to Craft Arena in Barleylands to do the purse workshop. I've been looking forward to it for a while as i ll meet new people which is always fun.
 So I hope you all have a nice day and manage to get time to do something creative!

Bark update

I've played around with my design on the bark peice , I didn't like the original composition so here's the updated version . I'm much happier with this its more pleasing to the eye.
I am going to shape the bark into a bit 3 d dome style but I need to stitch into it first!
And add on my little. Ladybugs crawling out of the hole in the centre area,
It's on a hand dyed silk noil background As well to add interest , I'm. Rather pleased with the effect of the lutrador lace so I must be careful not to over do stitching to hide it.

Got a busy day today so must dash . I'm teaching a bag workshop  tomorrow at Craft Arena so ill take some photos of the work if ladies let me!
