I bought a couple of old worn out chairs from the local charity shop and wanted to put some new life into them ... The girls asked for an Alice in Wonderland inspired chair, so I checked out what fabric scraps I had and went for it .. I have never done this kind of thing before so had a little advice from a good friend and off I went ... The leather and horsehair all came off and I used sponge to rebuild the seat pad and backing, covered with a plain white material first, then with this heart garland material to finish off :) 

So here we have the before and after shots :)  hope you like xx

Foundation Diploma Work and Evening

My mixed media Geisha print and painting

My Fabric Origami Cranes

Jewellery boxes I made and embellished with home made paper and beads and buttons 

This is a continuous wallpaper print which was inspired by the Japanese Ginkgo Tree leaves
Embellished with rhinestones to give a glittering effect in the light. 

I decided to have a go at making fabric crane earrings

I made this screen from scratch ... The inserts are screenprinted by myself then I embroidered around the flowers and grass to give a more artistic effect.

This is a hairclip which I made from fabrics which I did various processes on including burning

A necklace which I made

All the items on a bit of tree which we had just cut down in the garden

I wanted to make a bolster cushion ... 

This is a piece which I made as a hair band ... the flower can be made to go onto any jewellery .

This is my final display for the Art Show 

Here we are myself and my two Maiko :)
