I have been unable to make any felt over Christmas, so I have been working on the pieces I made prior to the festive period, seen <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry.co.uk\/?p=325\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I worked on the second and third pieces, the third became the Christmas present for my parents in law, and I mainly beaded that with semi-precious stone chips, and lovely tiny beads. It is now hanging in their living room, but I hope I may be able to take a photo of it in the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>The second one in the series I started to work on using ideas from one of the books my lovely husband bought me &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/o\/ASIN\/0500286396\/ref=pd_rvi_gw_1\/202-7003818-9292664\">The Art of Embroidery: Inspirational Stitches, Textures and Surfaces<\/a>, whihc is a fantastic book. So this one became more of a sampler, but looked ok as a whole piece, but then I mucked it up! Blurgh! So I decided to chop it up!!!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image346\" alt=\"2_narrow_blog.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry.co.uk\/wp-content\/images\/2006\/12\/2_narrow_blog.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These are the two that I have such lovely feedback and comments on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/raspberryfairy\/338399004\/\">Flickr<\/a>, the french knots look great, and I&#8217;m very pleased with the shape. They measure about 2.5 x 6.5 cm, and I think will end up as brooches.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image347\" alt=\"1_square_blog.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry.co.uk\/wp-content\/images\/2006\/12\/1_square_blog.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This one is measures about 5.5 cm square, not sure what I&#8217;m going to do with this one, nice colour and stitching at the bottom. They are all backed with 2 layers of interfacing, which I ironed on and they stitched for extra strength to bind them altogether.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image348\" alt=\"1_narrow_blog.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry.co.uk\/wp-content\/images\/2006\/12\/1_narrow_blog.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This one has no extra embellishment on it, but I love the way the fibres work together.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that over the next few weeks I will be able to experiment more now the Christmas period is over, but then it&#8217;s Valentines!!!!<\/p>\n<p>More soon I hope, and thanks again for all your support I really appreciate it all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A proper post at last!
