...bits...

Another bit of "retail therapy" at Harrogate...

...resulted in the purchase of one of these.




...a lucet for making cord.

I'm intending to use the cord for couching in the next body of work...(I'll be saying more about this over the coming weeks)

...and the process is so enjoyable to do :-)

(Once you've got started that is!!)

Here's a piece of punchneedle work that I managed to get done during the 4 days of the show...



...a bit of a miracle really, considering the number of times I stopped and started in between talking and showing how it's threaded or done.

Ne'er mind though. There are a lot of people who bought an "UltraPunch" tool...

...and should be happily punching away by now :-)

Back here, stitching has also been happening.

Small squares...



..with both stitching and lots of beads...





...that will be joined together to form a much larger finished piece.
