Well, almost. I still have to finish backing them which I will do today. Then, this evening I have to staple the backing on.
Then I need to scrap them to go in my album. I have some off cuts of silk from putting them on the frame and plenty of thread and beads to use on the page. I might even try to make a beaded dragonfly to show the beads I used.
I suddenly realised this morning that I had not made the desktop calender for May.
So, as I was editing the pics of the dragonflies anyway, I decided to use them.
They look really good on my desktop. If you fancy them on yours, just click on the pic on the left to download.
And I had some good news yesterday. I found out that one of my smaller lilies has sold! That means a total of two. I have (almost) finished the new winter. That just needs backing as well ready to staple tonight.
I have to go to the Angle Theatre in Wisbech and pick up the others tomorrow morning. The friend who was going to take me phoned me really upset yesterday. Her car got stolen so she can't. However, she has asked her hubby to take us all up and he has kindly agreed. I am even more pleased I decided to do this silk for her now, it will cheer her up!.
Your blog is lovely, and so is all your work!
