Textures.

Patricia brought lots of embroidery rings filled with beautifully worked embroideries.

These follow on from the workshop she and Carol did a few months ago .Some have been done in vibrant colour using stitches and embellishments to add more texture.

Some are more experimental utilizing stitched paper and added paint.

Others rely on neutral threads,ribbons and fibres.A real lesson in how stitchery can create an impact.

In the same vein ,Sue had added to her embroidery .Her stitches meander across the surface

And variety comes in the thickness of the thread.Embellishments are natural in the form of beach finds.

She had also turned up this piece which mirrors a lot of the above but worked on paper,with added fibres.
