This one is organza embellished onto a wool fabric, black tulle put over the top then machine stitched and beaded.
This photo of the inside is especially for Sue and the gang!
Decided to have a go at rusting some lace. Very pleased with the results. Only rusted a small piece as I wasn't sure what it was going to turn out like. Now of course, there will be no stopping me.
Also rusted some more cotton fabric. Just love the patterns on this one.
It always amazes me how such wonderful fabrics like this....
... and this...
... start out looking like this!

Gorgeous padfolio - love the red! The 'rusted' lace looks really good doesn't it? - and the fabric too! What will you do with it I wonder...
lol! thanks for the inside shot :) Hey I like that rusted lace, great idea. And I think that you are now due the title of "Queen of the Embellisher"
Lovely padfolio and the rusted lace is great! On a recent work trip in the outback I found a great bunch of rusted wire that I just had to bring home - seeing your bottle/fabric wrap has made me realise how I can use it!! Thanks

Love the padfolio. The texture looks great.
The rust fabrics are gorgeous, especially the lace.
Love your work. I bet libbys teachers will be well pleased with their gifts (and Libby must be very proud of her nan's work).
Micki asked if you ever sleep, tell her yes, usually at work.
Yours truly, admirer.
