Carol T's EQ comes home.

Well my EQ came home and I can't tell you the eagerness I had to get the covering fabric off! The tresure beneth was worth al the careful unpicking. The design i chose was based loosely on a celtic swirl, but included diamonds and dots too.I included pieces of brown silk, had to be brown I am sure Arlee will be laughing at this! I also incuded some annealed copper mesh.

This first square was completed by Nancy and include's the mesh and silk and beautiful purpley blue fabric with a peacock feather and some rusty coloured velvet. It is just lovely nancy thank you.
The next is by Anne Marie and is so lovely and crunchy textured, looks weathered and corroded and is very me! There are some lovely textures and she used the mesh in the same way I did on my square. It is mainly hand stitched too! Many thanks Anne Marie.

The next square is my own and I used fabric paint, silk and the twin needle. I FME'd the grid of painted foil and annealed copper mesh in place.

The next squarewas completed by Paula and is also hand stitched. It is also painted in a lovely detailed way and beaded and hantha'd beautifully. Thanks paula, I love it.

Nellie completed the next square and is full of lovely FME and the eye shape has the metal mesh in incased in sheer. Love the diamonds at the side to, such strength of colour. Many thanks Nellie.

And finally is the square completed by Betty. I can't wait to find out what Betty did as the technique is fab. It has metallic swirls and beading and a lovely turquoise bottom to the swirl. Thank Betty I can't wait to hear how you did the background.

Here is the whole, it needs a little integrating, mainly around my square it has to be said. Hope you all enjoyed working on it as muc as i am enjoying looking at it.
