Experimental canvas work

Well helloooo,
Been ages since I was on here! Had loads going on and my MS was playing me up as well but I'm back fighting fit now ,
I've been making some samples for a workshop afternoon I'm hosting soon.
Here's a sample I finished over the weekend.
It's made using simple canvas work stitching and I just added a few beads and a centre peice I made from sculpy clay. I put it on a canvas background to set it off.

Back to work

good morning all,
Well it's my first day back for a while as I've been off ill.....I've been ok to do some crafts but not much I've managed to make a few bits though.
I've also got my mojo back to do some water colour painting after watching the BBC programme last night for the Best Ameteur painter in UK?
THe weather is getting better too which means I can go in my garden a bit.
Well here's a sample of wire work..

Jasper wire work




This is my first attempt at wire work. I used a lovely large peice of natural jasper and some antique bronze wire .the beads along the side are also all natural gems. I found it quite difficult to get both sides the same and I'm still learning the technique of curling the wires. I'm hoping to more as I got lots of wire to play with .today I'm finishing off another lovely pendant which is taking ages.......hopefully it will be done today cos it's driving me nuts!
Hope you have a nice day.
