Cladonia Shawl - January 2013

Cladonia Shawl - design by Kirsten Kapur

Here is my version made from lama wool with natural colour change. The knitted lace border is made of one thread lama wool and one thread bamboo fibre as I was running out of lama. The shine of the bamboo fibre adds another dimension to the knitted lace border.

Felted Slippers - November 2012

These felted slippers started as the ugly ducklings shown below. I knitted these overgrown shapes (side by side, they were 80 cm wide) and felted them in the washing machine until they reached the size required.  They will need embellishing with either needle felting or embroidery. 

Here is the wedding ring cushion in boutis I have just finished just in time for my daughter's wedding in 10 days time.

Here is a new craft which I started recently but which is really taking hold: Fimo!

I started with bracelets:

After a workshop using the "brain" pattern, I made those two necklace and bracelet sets:

Here is a patchwork lampshade we did in an all-day workshop with our patchwork club:

Having an old wine bottle in the garage, I used it to create the lamp base. After drilling it, to insert the wire, I then filled it up with white et purple stones and lavender.

and hey presto!

 

Here is the stole completed with beads at the end of the fringes.
