COLDSTONE CUT INSPIRED

"

Coldstone 1 reflecting the heather in the moorland, need to add a few beads to give the mica glints to the background. 

Coldstone 11 based on winter autumn, again a few beads needed.
Trying to decide how to mount them, thinking about a piece of slate as a natural background.
The two pieces of felt made with a mixture of English wools and merino, I was attempting to get the look of rock and the layers .  I then embellished roving onto hand made felt and embroidered the background with variageted Perle threads.

BOOK MAKING AT THE WEEKEND

Japanese stab stitched books made on Saturday. 
Yotsumi Toji, Noble binding or Kangxy Toji, Hemp Leaf, and Tortoise Shell.  Thoroughly enjoyed Joan's class.now to begin my homework by creating another stitch using the same method.  The small book was an attempt at one but I'm not happy with it.
