Susan on Arlee's piece

I was the first one to work on Arlee's piece so had a good choice as to which area to work. The first picture is of the whole area finished. Arlee had painted some and I followed her color choices and painted a bit also. I did a block print of the large gear shape then cut out some copper, punched it with eyelets, put some purple/blue wallpaper into the cut out holes and stitched it into place. I used some purple eyelash yarn to fill the 'squiggles' and then wound some wire around a bamboo skewer to create spring like thingies. I filled one of the other gear areas with some copper paint and the attached 2 or 3 tiny skulls to the piece. I also free stitched another gear looking bit with a variagated blue/brown thread.

I seem to be able to do a bit more free form work if someone else gets me going with either a design or a bit of material. From my own brain it doesn't come as easily
