Art

Two of my kitties. Drawings with colored pencil.

Watercolor painting. I need to frame it.

Pine needle basket

At Heritage Textile guild meeting last Saturday, we made pine needle baskets - or at least began them. I finished mine last evening. It has an agate for the base that was within an acrylic envelope to protect it.

Kumihumo

Kumihumo or Japanese braiding. I made a necklace chain (left) and several key chains. The key chains were in a craft fair last December.

The bag (below) I spun the yarn from wool, crocheted the bag and did kumihumo for the strap. I was not particularly happy with the strap, it stretches too much. I added some thin sparkly colored thread for part of the bag to add interest. The bead used as a closure is dichroic glass.
