This was a fun class! Many of us are madly working on this piece.

Red Poll bird

It's the day after the bird class and I'm stitching like crazy in order to finish the body so I can add the coral colored threads to the breast.  How is everyone else doing? It is so nice to be in my chair and the great light I have at home! Trudy

Prickly Pear Cactus

This piece was stitched with white cotton and then the canvas and the white cotton were painted with acrylic paint. Afterwards I then did the outline and highlighted stitching of the cactus.  Lastly the ribbons were added. I had the piece framed and now will cut the pricklies and finish with fray check to keep them from unraveling. This was a class piece taught in Santa Fe By Barbara Elmore. Fun to do. Tami

Tami's Japanese flat silk flower

I stitched this flower using Japanese flat silk and then framed in a box. Tami

Tami's finished lacquered box

This is a Butterfly which I designed for my silk and metal class. The butterfly is completed with laying of Japanese gold (couched) bullion chips, gold twist and gold perl and silks. I framed it in a lacquered burl oak box. Tami
