Button and Lace Trees workshop

I've lost count of how many trees I've made and workshops I've taught for it, in the last few years but it's still one of my favourite things to do. It's fun and relaxing and always interesting to see the end results whether it's mine or a students. They are always uniquely individual. Here are this years creations so far.

Fun with buttons and lace.

The Button and Lace tree is usually a pre-Christmas workshop but by request I did one yesterday. It was fun to do it out of season although I think these trees don't need to be just for Christmas. They're a beautiful to have out all year round. 

As with many creative workshops it was fun to see the variation of trees at the end of the afternoon.

These owls are just some of the many Stuffies she sews, with a multitude of found and upcycled  material.

I love her hats made from upcycled sweaters and clothes. You won't find anyone else wearing the same hat as this.

Her wonderful whimsy comes through in her mixed media art as well. To see more varieties of each, click on the photos to get to her great web site gallery.
