Omletina Kyckling Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I've just been to alovely little craft fair in Sywell, NOrthants. There were some lovely stalls there, lots of jewellery and a knitting felter who made beautiful bags.... But I was really taken by some pictures.....from a distance they were like paintings but when you got close up they were embroidered landscapes, absolutely stunning. The lady was very friendly and told me she paints the backgrounds and then embroiders the detail in. They were all different and I thought quite reasonable considering the amount of work which had gone into them. I bought a small poppy picture with trees in the background, which was £19 ready framed!!! Some of the pictures were done so that the embroidered spilled out onto the mount, which was so effective. Anyway, I thought it might insire some of you sewers out there.....this is her website! http://anneharrison.co.uk/ Ps I was even more impressed by her because she trusted me to take away the picture and two handmade cards, with the promise of me sending a cheque on as I didn't have enough cash with me PPS if anybody local wants to go to the fair it's also open tomorrow....here are the details.. http://www.penninefairs.co.uk/page8.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
