City & Guild Final Piece

Life has been mega busy at work... Not been home before 8:30 most of the week. So throught I should use a quieter weekend to finish my final piece for C&G.

The staves are from our smoke bush which had split over the winter, thus we had to give it a hair cut ! Love the shapes the ends had grown into !

The body has been created with layers of fabric and I have started to create machine lace leaves. Making them in small groups so can get some different colour ways. The first two are very green ... need to move towards reddish brown !!
