Another Design Team Wall Hanging (and I'm excited!)

For this months Altered Element Design Team Project, Lynne asked us to choose some bits and bobs for ourselves. I chose lots of textile bits and pieces, some Satin Fabric, Canvas, Woven Metal, some very fine green wire and a textiles pack.
The Wall Hanging I have made is still a 'work in progress' - The whole is growing into a much bigger project than I first intended, but I thought I would show you how far I have got so far. I intend to try my hand at a bit of embroidery on it and I need my son to go scavenging in the woods for some bits and pieces for the 'frame'

But here it is as it stands today. Still loads of fiddling to get it just as I would like it, but it is well on its way. The backcloth is a lovely shade of green, unfortunately the photo does not do it justice. The dark green is satin.... now you if wash and dry you favourite shirt and do all sorts like leave it in a screwed ball for too long and then shove it still screwed up, it will come out all creased and try as you might you cant get the creases out?? Well when you TRY to do that, it just doesn't work as well (think its called sods law!)

When I have finished it completely I will try to get a better picture and a few close ups of each element for you to see.

Its a busy time here with school hols, camping trips, kids going off in all directions, my Dad soon to go in hospital for his op, and lots of other 'stuff' filling our time and I am off to see the bestest bessies tomorrow for a few days but I am already getting excited about next months DT pack Lynne has sent.

The shop is closed for a few days but all orders placed on the website will benefit from an automatic 10% discount* applied in the shopping basket as a thank you for patiently waiting until 9th August for dispatch.

Oh..... are you wondering why I am excited??
