Only a Rose.
Only a Rose is the title of my upcoming workshop at Stitch and Craft in London this month.
I'll be teaching my way of making pretty rolled fabric roses that can be used to embellish so many things.
I've been busy making samples to show different ways to use them.
Today I finished another bag.
The base is made from some heavy Hungarian linen that I found at
'A Vintage Rummage Sale' last Saturday.
This is the back of the bag, you can see the lovely texture of the fabric.The lace came from the same sale and is just the right shade of cream.
I've used a vintage chair back for the flap along with more lace and some fringing. The roses are different shades of aged white with added pearls. The 'tassel' is pieces of sari silk grouped together and tied in a knot.
I also made a fringe with seam binding ribbon which has been aged slightly with walnut ink.
I love the creamy colours of this bag, I hope my pictures do it justice.
My final sample is another necklace in shades of lilac and lavender.

I used a piece of hand dyed Mulberry bark which I felted with silk waste before adding the different texture roses. I've used tiny seed beads and french knots to fill in some of the natural holes in the Mulberry bark. To make the cord I've used seam binding ribbon and over stitched it on my machine before adding the clasp.
All the samples are finished, just a few more kits to finish and then I'm all ready.
Have a great week.
