Summer Symphonies

Hello again,

And I know it has been a while since I posted but thank you for being so patient. Life often throws us things that we are not prepared for! I have been working through it!



The following photos are pieces that are being donated to the Halton Youth Symphony Orchestra for silent auction. It is always a fun time but a lot of work just the same. Lots of work on the set up!




I hope you enjoy ...these are watercolour with wool rovings - hand and machine stitch!









 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
They are 24" x 24" mounted on stretcher bars and canvas.
 
Wishing you the very best, Barbara
