Hesket Show 2023 : Handicrafts

 An absolutely classic weekend and show! ..and the culmination of weeks of work and planning. I'm dividing the blogs into the sections of classes in the show - so we begin with the Handicrafts ...and my entries  ...

I don't do traditional beadwork - but enjoyed creating the felt pomegranite - with some hand embroidery on the back for the skin ....the beads were sewn on with difficulty with invisible thread! 

A mixture of hand - dyed fabrics, paint and machine embroidery. 

For a felt item - a box of labelled pebble specimens. 

A scarf using up the old hanks of spun wool from previous show entries - no placing for this year's hank of wool. 

A patchwork of cyanotype dyed fabric using plants from our lane that was then quilted. 

...and finally a greetings card inspired by poppies.
