Ruby Challenge

While we're on the topic of challenges, remember how Maz challenged us back here to make a work on the theme of Ruby, as part of our ongoing work on Birthstones?

Helen made a tiny Ruby basket with a red bead necklace.

 It's made of rug canvas covered with cloth.

Nola made a little book, inspired by a High Renaissance manuscript in the Walters Art Museum.



 

Maz's hand-embroidered work is still in progress, mostly because she decided it needed a lot of French knots, which have taken quite a lot of time.

It's looking really interesting, isn't it? More later...
