September through December 2022

These months I framed some previously finished needlework pieces. 

This is Scarlet Letters by Tempting Tangles



This is Turkish Delight by Ink Circles. I think the pale frame and rich blue mat really brought it to life.


I also finished one of Amy Mittens' Excursions, #22: Spain and framed it. The double mat and the scrollwork frame complemented it nicely.



I finished my Little Pin for Winter by Lynn Payette and found the perfect fabric for the back. I also decided not to put ribbon around the sides as I like it as is. 

 


I did some more art projects, some of which I kept a record of. 

This is a simple painted clay pot, done as a candy corn for Halloween


This is my first attempt at doing impasto. As a non-painter I struggled a bit with the technique and it didn't come out as I liked, but we still used it. 

This was a Christmas plaque, which started as an unpainted wood piece with some layers. I used both paint and modelling paste to bring it to life. 



Also on a Christmas theme, I tried my hand at a ribbon tree. I used a Christmas themed snowflake earring as the topper. It turned out pretty good. 


I did a few other crafts, but didn't keep them, and forgot to take pictures. 
I also have several other needlecraft pieces on the go, but will wait until they are further along, or finished to document them here. 

Happy crafting!
