An Amazing Flower.

            This amazing flower has just opened and there are at least 2 more buds still to come.

This is actually a spike of many flowers and the white 'hood' is an enlarged bract, just like an Arum Lily.

The Last Wasp.

The last of the Potter wasps appears to have burrowed out and left the nest. How symetrical it is, except for one who burrowed out too high!

Coffee Time.

                                    Nothing better than a good cup of frothy coffee/chocolate.

New Project, Doors.

I'm starting work on a new projecy and have delved into my collection of photos of doors, taken all over the world.

 These are from Egypt, but unless I go to my diary I really can't remember where I took them. Possibly in the Oasis of  ? in the Western Desert.

The wind keeps driving the sand into the villages and burying everything.  Once a door is covered up by sand and can't be opened, the people just build another storey and move up.

Finished.

This is a little clutch purse made from the Embellished felt with the smallest butterfly added for decoration.

Embellished Butterflies.

Here pieces of silk, patterned and plain have been Embellished over a background piece of felt.

                                  The details have been added with pen and sewing machine.

Needle Felted Fabric.

 Here is a piece of felt laid out with various ribbons and yarns prior to needle felting with an electric Embellishing machine.

                          This is the reverse side with the items punched through from the front.
