Painted paper tablecloth, backed with felt and free machine stitched.

I made these leaves from a technique learned from Pam Watts. The leaves are stitched with free motion embroidery onto a cold water disolvable background. The disolvable isn't disolved away, but moistened with water and has paint dripped onto it. When it dries, the background shrinks and the leaf becomes raised and slightly 3 dimensional.

Rachel used a quote from my favorite performer, Robbie Williams, around the tissue spiral. She used silver mesh to add extra texture, with charms as focal points. Fibres were added too, to continue the movement.

This one is Daune's version of my page. Daune used lots of copper with tiny beads and an exhuberance of yarns. Lots of texture in this one.

Diane used my smiley spiral to create her own verson. The shiney magazine paper is reflecting more on the photo than in real life. Diane echoed my use of copper and added a very hard to use mohair yarn to hand stitch the edging.

I have always loved this Paul McCartney song, from the White Album. My blackbird was painted using acrylic paints.
