Staying true to you, embroidered bowl! Are you complete?

At long last it was dry!

A little relaxing of the shape on the leaf shapes and some looking at what is needed next….

Definitely some painting to add colour to the felt leaves.

Do like the colour and light from my sewing machine! LED’s…

Two beading needles later!

Some beading undulating around the inside and the outside of the bowl.

Always a difficult point should I do more or should I stop? More beads or a little hand stitching?

And will it sell? Should I make another? Who knows and who can say!!!

I have another drying, a larger one.

I do like the colours and the feel of this one.

I'm deciding whether this bowl needs another layer of washaway to strengthen it as it's larger.

And of course beads, hand stitching or leave as is. A little tidying up around the edges.

Please feel free to add comments.

Hi, I think the bowl is great, like you no idea if it will sell:) Finding items that appeal is hard work (she says with feeling!!! You may just have found yourself a niche area:) Stopping by from Craft Blog UK FB blog post -

Creation of a dream

I should have started this two years ago! That`s when the dream of Fibre Dreams began to take shape! So after this long journey i am ready to start on the road trip of a lifetime. I shall boldly go onto the Internet with my handmade products. I have a transporter full of the extra materials and equipment i think other fibre craft people would like to have as well... I`ve got the stuff now i need to learn how to set up a website...or set up shop on big shop site (you know the bay thingeo!). I will even learn how to post photo`s of my products. Fibre Dreams.....First frustration was not understanding why the telephone number is not recognised when i tried to .com my blog site? And why you have to have a fax if you are setting up as a business?? And where do i go to get these answers.... But a successful day on the knitted blooms broaches!! So at this point in time if you have experience setting up fibre craft websites i would be grateful for any positive comments! If you have any in...

Is ma hair alright?!

Here’s just some of my recent projects... My Cloth Doll making..... Notebook covers..... A Stumpwork story.....my story of an adventurous lad I used to tell my daughter when she was little! So above you see Keal and his Grandad who's ill but was the quest adventurer....he has a quest laid unsolved.... This page is nearly complete...just need to add something to the wall behind Keal...but I know not what at the moment... This will be the front cover of the Story Book (horizontally!) Another of the stories pages...a forest scene and a hidden gem for Keal to find to help solve the quest. The Introduction page, also explains the picture with Keal and his Grandfather in bed!
