Really interesting to see how your work has altered over the last year and yet still has the same basic theme and inspiration. And I love your devotion to hand embroidery - so unusual today when the desire to "make things quickly" has become more important.<br /><br />Jacqui (in Auckland, New Zealand)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493697081233150779.post-7341162453406546972009-06-10T15:53:45.885+01:002009-06-10T15:53:45.885+01:00I don't care how funky OR puffy -- it makes me...I don't care how funky OR puffy -- it makes me happy just to look at the work you do!

There are lots of finished things here though, silk beads, pincushions, a commissioned hanging, dolls, buttons. I show a lot of close ups to illustrate the process I am going through to make the finished piece, perhaps that would explain it.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02735772003412266355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493697081233150779.post-32335655219194381412009-06-09T16:53:11.844+01:002009-06-09T16:53:11.844+01:00Hello,

We see bits, closeups of the details, but what does the enirety look like? I'd like to know. Unless I'm missing the point altogether, and pieces is all there is? If so, . . . never mind. Carry on.
