Wearable Art Jewellery - a New design

2015-05-14T17:29:34.769+01:00  Another piece of wearable art in the making

I started with choosing the colours and the main feature

The yarns I selected were caramel slubbed cotton, cream silk yarn and stone silk and wool. I wrapped white cotton jersey strips with the cream and stone yarns

A rough sketch of my design idea

This beautiful fossil stone pendant was the featured element and I covered aluminum wire with the caramel slubbed cotton to attach it to the main necklace and for some decoration.

So far so good but it has taken hours to get this far!

Now you will have to be patient, I will blog the finished necklace as soon as it 'comes off the drawing board'

My Latest Handbag Idea...Waterlilies

Waterlily Handbag

Waterlilies in Spain

My source material, not sure yet whether I will make a pink or white flower, or use matt or shiny fabrics. I want the leaves to overlap the bag shape and the flower 3D  if I can find a satisfactory way to make it!

Rough sketch for applique on bag

So now to find some material and make the pattern for the bag shape, then draw out the shapes for the applique.

Watch this space!
