Sharon Boggon chosen colour scheme for March, the concept was to 'pay attention to the tiny details'.
As time was very precious this month due to many other creative commitments ( exhibitions by Silk-n-Threads at Tatton Park, the Macclesfield Embroiderers Guild at the Silk Museum and the Society of Marple Artists Ruby exhibition in April) whatever I did had to be achieveable in less than 24hours. So I decided to embellish on to black felt and use beads as the tiny details. The finished result works as a fluid swirling piece viewed from a far as the photo below shows. However, if you look closer you can see the tiny details of the beads that give the piece definition and surface texture.
These two closeups show the beads nestling in the embellished wool. I frequently employ beads and french knots to create small pockets of interest that only is realised when the viewer looks close up.
I machine edged the postcard and added it to my monthly collection.

It's lovely! It's nice to pur outselves on a time limit occasionally. I think it makes us more creative.
Lovely piece. I like the way you did the beads.
This is beautiful. I love the contrast between the soft wool and the beeds. And the colours, of course.
A wonderful postcard Margaret.
