Beaded beauties - Eliza McClelland - part 2



Yup............more beady bits lol above, alternative crazy patchwork!



Eliza jazzed up an inexpensive little bag above......elegant but not over the top.
This long narrow cushion was a black and white fabric and Eliza highlighted some, not all, of the flowers which made this a spectacular looking piece.
You can see clearly here the soup mix, of coloured beads that Eliza likes to use, making a wonderful shaded colour combo to areas. She picks a finger full of several shades of colour and mixes her own 'soups' that way.
And she also pops in an odd colour bead here and there......that's also a trademark of hers and it works so well!








 (It wouldn't fit in my bag dam it................lol) <<< joke!!


A fish panel on a velvet cushion...........

Great use of deco buttons

cute vintage Christmas cover or what!



But seeing these pics is only part of the story. Eliza performs a fun and interesting talk and draws you in, with her actress skills...........
sign her up for your stitchy group!
 I am sure you'll enjoy her too and revel in seeing her samples for real. We've had her visit us 3 times and that's surely proof of how good she is!

Some of our members work was displayed too......from this..

  1. Must say I'm fascinated by the beaded bugs - amazing details. Also can't imagine knitting that blanket - tying in the ends would be a life's work!!
