HANGING HEART...SNAIL CLOCK....GLITTERY DRESS..

Sorry my camera is not a really good one, so I can't get close up photos.I have made a number of decorative hearts which I have painted and embroidered.....They are just fun to have..either hanging from a door knob or hook....this is the first of many.....Actually they would make great Christmas decorations.

Oh...so cool...I have had this image in my art book for ages.....I was flicking through for inspiration when I found him...he makes a great clock.

This material is so cool...I have blogged this previously...before I got the e.bay shop...The top is fully lined, but is a little see through below the bust line....Very sexy without being too revealing. As the top hangs from below the bust it does not cling to the bits we would rather not have....Very flattering, unlike a smock that makes us look pregnant!

Lovely with tight black jeans or black trousers.

BAG...PRETTY TOP...GHOST....

This is a pretty little bag...it has a pattern woven into it and would go with most outfits.....It is from Oasis, there is a snap fastening and it is lined with satin fabric...Sadly I have never used it as I prefer a shoulder bag.

This is the bodice of the pretty black top...there is gold in the lace,beading and sequins....It is low cut and very feminine.

This photo is a bit wrong.. the fabric on the left as you are facing it looks white, where as it is actually pale gold lurex.

This is my first attempt at making a ghost...I am pleased....I love Halloween type things but cant bare cheep and tacky...I have a lot of plans for Halloween items, just hope I find the time.

Well at the moment computers work...wire less modem installed.. so fingers crossed it will all stay that way!

Bye the way... I have had some really lovely messages from you girls....Thank you all so much....I am sometimes a little unsure about what exactly I should be making.....but your comments show I must be doing the right thing.

My art is very personal to me..it is a reflection of my imagination..and my capabilities as a designer....The thought that someone admires my work makes it all worth while....Apart from my loved ones... it is my life, without art I am lost.

BIG COOL MONSTER....SHIFT DRESS

He..he..he...Isn't he just fabby? They just get bigger and bigger... better and better!

Having said that...my son Peter saw him last night and asked if I could make a teeny-weeny one as a first toy for his baby girl due in September...so I will have a go....I'm already getting over run by the ghoulish little creatures!

Back view ..showing a hand printed scull and wings I have sewn to the back...

All the bits and pieces ready for completion...

I sewed each claw separately, turned them and inserted them as I sewed him up...this was the most time consuming part...I don't like fiddly bits....

I have half made his brother..!

A hand made smock dress from my own pattern....I sewed little pin-tucks back and front...I make everything to the best of my capabilities...all the seams are zig-zagged...

Oh for an over-locker...I wish....!
