Mosaic
Mosaic is a relatively new interest, but I’ve dabbled in time gone by. I’ve done a few mirror frames, but can’t get the photo’s right to post!
Here’s my Easter Cross

- I used straight beads for the centre with large round decor beads as an accent. I used seed beads as a colour accent between the safety glass and tiles.
Painting on Fabric
I love to paint on fabric. I use my own artwork, although I do use well-known subjects too, as you will see.
The Kiddies Characters are for whatever purpose you can think of: Wall Hangings, Linens, Clothing, and can also be painted onto any other surface. Please excuse the marks on some of these, but my Grandchildren have “helped” and I can’t get the stains out. These are samples, so no matter.
The others make great placemats or cushions.

I have been Decoupaging for about 10 years. I started on wooden objects and moved on to Fabric, Glass, Enamel, Metal, all kinds of surfaces! In fact, if it stayed still, I wanted to decoupage it! They make wonderful gifts, decor items and are lovely to make.

Candlewicking
What Is Candlewicking?
Candlewicking is a type of embroidery done on 100-percent cotton unbleached muslin, which has not been preshrunk.
The candlewicking fabric is washed after stitching; the shrinking of the muslin will not only hold the knots, but it also will give the puckered look of traditional candlewicking.
