Looking forward by looking back


Well, its been a while since I last posted - where has the time gone to?
I have been busy at the shop but also I have just submitted my first exhibition piece, it was a nerve racking but exciting process.
A local arts group have been working with veterans from different conflicts to create an exhibition to highlight the impact of warfare.
I am happy to report that my piece was accepted!
It took me a few weeks to make and a few changes of direction, but I am happy with the piece which is a mixture of watercolour, knitting, crochet, and embroidery. A close up is below, strangely I really enjoyed making my little figures, although knitting with crewel wool on 1mm knitting needles was an experience. 
I think I will be making a few more figure based pictures for Open Studios in July.
Hopefully you will be able to pop along to the exhibition and see all the wonderful artwork submitted by local artists.
Until next time - happy crafting =^.^=
