Faux Metal hanging

Hello again folks.   Well what a great few days I have had.   Jennie arrived on Monday evening,  and after a leisurely meal and a glass of wine,  we adjourned to the craft room and talked about crafting and knitting and singing which are all the things we have in common.  The faux metal hanging was made for Jennie's visit and she loved it,  so now I can share it with you.    Jennie also gave me a gift of the most beautiful  1 ply cobweb lace wool spun in Shetland,  and the pattern book as well.  Wasn't I the lucky one.    On Tuesday Annie had a Crafty day and we had such a lot of fun and made some of Jennies stunning flowers.   After lunch I showed Jennie how to emboss with Toilet tissue,  so amid howls of laughter I did my demonstration and it was one that she hadn't done, so she enjoyed that too.  Then Annie did the Faux leather technique and then it was coffee and cake.  More crafting,  and I left Annie and Jennie to enjoy their evening meal together as I had to leave to see to Andrew.    A great day was had by all of us and we will definitely be doing it again in the near future.   Jennie left for Shetland today and left us both with great memories. Safe Journey home Jennie. 
 I  have added a few pictures and no doubt there will be more on Annie and Jennies blog.    I'll be back soon.

Hugs Rita xxx

It is always good to get together with friends and if they are crafters too so much the better. It certainly sounds as if you had a wonderful time - thanks for sharing the pictures.

We DID have an amazing time together! And yes the hanging is just so beautiful - it is up on the wall by my desk already! The faux metal background is amazing - it looks and feels just like metal. And the colours and embellishments are just some of my favourites too. Thank you Rita for such a wonderful piece which will be treasured.

Love and hugs

It sounds like everyone had the most wonderful time as you gathered together for laughter and crafting - a perfect combination.
The hanging is outstanding, so rich in texture.
Rita, I am sorry not to have visited for what seems like the longest time, I know you understand.

Love your faux metal hanging Rita, I love this technique. The colours and embellishments are gorgeous but I especially love your flowers, are they made from a die or punch? they really add the finishing touch. Love it! Hugs Lottie x
