Jacqui Smith 'Handpainted and Stitched Illustrations'

Eight members of our group met today to participate in a workshop ran by Jacqui Smith, What a treat it turned out to be, a lovely day, playing with paint, dyes, bleach etc etc on paper & fabric. We did not find time to stitch into the wonderful backgrounds, but as most of us are experienced in free machine embroidery we can complete our pieces at home.

We just need to add collaged pieces of fine fabric, sweetie papers, music, pages from books-  whatever, and then we are away.

Below are photos taken on the day- obviously the theme was flowers!!!

just a few paints!
