Hand embroidered earrings. Nutcracker design.

Hi, It has been a very busy but have had an enjoyable time over Christmas. We have a new puppy who is full of fun and a bit naughty. I didn't finish the earrings until after Christmas which was a shame. They were fun to stitch and I may make another pair before next Christmas. I was bought an online goldwork course from the Royal School of Needlework which I am currently working on. I haven't stitched goldwork before and I am really enjoying the process. At the moment I am applying the padding ready for the gold threads.

Hand embroidered jewellery

Hi, I have had a very busy time lately. I have just completed a commission to paint a wedding bouquet in water colour and am now drawing the design for this years Christmas card for my local church. In the evenings I have stitched several embroideries to make into jewellery mainly brooches and necklaces. I have embroidered several Christmas themed designs and also two dogs. I have some more different styles yet to make so its back to the drawing board and out with needle and thread.
