Back grounds for Contemporary pieces

Stitched Bird on Rust Cloth

Birds are very popular these days and sooooo.



Photographed in 2 different lights.
My little birdy has the white feather under the chin for the NewZealand Tui.
No plans for him just yet.
Stitched for the pleasure of stitching. :)

Slowly Stitching.

Rust in the Snow

Christchurch doesnt get snow very often, but the other day we got heaps.
Here is my rusting area slowly reappearing.

Rust never sleeps. :)

Rust with Tins

I flattened a couple of tin cans
and got these lovely rusty stripey lines on calico.
all my rusting is done on various weights of calico. 



And from the lids I got this on a seperate piece.


Dont ask what I'm going to do with them. I just love making the marks. Every single piece I do come out differently.I love it.

Happy Rusting
