Other Creative Work

I have dabbled in many things over the years and will include some here, Papier Mache, Weaving, stitching in metal and more.

Some years ago, I had a ‘Papier Mache’ period, and these are some of my ‘works’.  I made other clocks, one on the hub of a car wheel which I liked a lot.  I need to take more photographs as I am not an expert with lighting and 3-D objects.  There are more objects to photograph.  Some of the objects were entered into an exhibition at Alton Staffs for the Millennium Exhibition, which had a theme of ‘INTO THE NEW MILLENNIUM – RECYCLING THE PAST’.

Many of these works are a bit the worse for wear, the toys and rock box having been much played with.

I was delighted to be introduced to free machine embroidery in a workshop taught by Jean Mobbs-Webb.  She had done some beautiful work integrating metal into her artwork.

While learning to use my sewing machine for creative work, I patched together some fabrics and free-machine quilted them.  I used some of these pieces to make cushions.
