More finishings

Well the weather has certainly changed here in my part of the North East UK  the past week. Today is particularly chilly and grey with intermittant showers - we do really need some proper rain in UK but I just hate grey skies ....  however I have been busy with a couple of finishings:
The first is the Winter Box from Victoria Sampler I have been stitching for my long time school friend. I will give this to her when we meet up as we do every year, at the Harrogate show in November, as we do not live in the same areas anymore .... This was stitched on white evenweave using various silks and DMC threads in different shades of turquoise ... this is deffo the last time I will stich this box - going to try the other ones next time ....




Another finish is the latest jewellery set I have finished - this is made from purple lepidolite and silver beads ......  today I will be making some more as I have just had an order from Jewellery Maker delivered which consists of some beautiful gem stones including Australian Mookite - so watch this space ! ....

Winter box is beautiful! I love those blues. Very reminiscent of snowy skies. And your jewelry is lovely, as always. I love purple!!
