<br />
Today I am about to finish creating some fabric made from bits of fabric that will be a base for some embroidery for a Wedding Dress.<br />
<br />
After the wedding I will be able to post some pictures, but until then it remains a closely guarded secret.<br />
<br />
If you happen upon my little blog please do leave some comments, especially those who are creative, I love to look at other sites to get inspired, so please leave details if you are like minded.<br />

In my blog I hope to give an insight to my life as a Designer and Artist, both past and present.<br />
It is hard work and I love it, But sometimes as with any Love Affair it is a love hate thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is my New Years Resolution to get this blog up and running, so here it is, hope you like it !<br />
My Work is a visual thing, so it will be full of pictures, in time I hope to add some techniques.<br />
I am not a writer so forgive the lack of ability to write well, but I will do my best.<br />

I like to pin unfinished work to boards where I can see it, then it is more likely to get finished.<br />
This board has Cutback and Layered pieces, the bag is Multi-textures, and the smaller pieces are now necklaces will post pics of them later.<br />
I have also now finished the Black/Red/Gold and Green cutback piece.<br />
