Well now.........

A busy week which started with my birthday on Sunday, 66 on the 99, I thought there should be something terribly significant about it appears not. Unless it marks an acceleration of the crumbling process, which is a very poor attempt at a link for the Lutradur and Lace challenge on the Fibre and Stitch Group .
Pictures are worth a thousand etc... so here are the stages.

I was tempted to leave it at this stage but I can't resist trying to see what will happen if.....so I added organza, zapped and then leaves
.
Beads came next

Still not satified I zapped again...and the piece is now called Atumn, Bounty and Decay which makes it a very appropriate piece for my birthday.

I may add some more stitching and it needs mounting on a proper background, I think it will probably end up as the cover of a book.

Information overload..................

This weekend I have experienced what can only be called an information overload, on the same day I received Fibre and Stitch, Cloth, Paper and Scissors and yesterday, Workshop on the Web., not to ignore the fact that I hadn't yet completed my TAST this week.

CPS and WOW were both very good issues and right up to standard, F&S, if it keeps up this standard, will be very good and at the moment the Yahoo Group for F&S(which is by invite), has so many messages,that I can't keep up.

But now to this weeks TAST. When I read Shisha stitch my heart sank as I once spent a miserable afternoon in a Workshop trying to come to attach a mirror. Suprisingly I couldn't find the mirror!! But I did find some large sequins and managed, hoorah, to fix them to the cloth. Thanks Sharon!!! I always associate India with bright rich colours mainly because of this small but brilliant Phaidon book on India so here is my TAST sample for this week.

Not as bright as in reality but my computer seems to have a problem with red and pinks. Little does it know it is soon to be replaced. I hope!!!
