Bathroom decor

I recently painted my bathroom and made a few decorative pieces to match. Here's a few snaps of them!



 This vase is made with white earthernware clay and copper oxide. I weaved string through the holes.




  I made these two small baskets by crocheting string. 







 This coaster is made from alpaca hair. I used thread to wrap around it and stitch into a circle shape. I used it to sit a small glass jar on, as shown above.









Here are some paper flowers I created out of different papers. The stems are made from wire with string wrapped around them.



 I made the bird out of white clay and found a piece of nice wood for it to sit on.

Fawn artwork

I'm in the process of painting my bathroom and was looking for some new artwork for the walls. I love fawns (baby deer) so decided to use them as my subject. The first work is done with watercolour and pen, then stitched onto a brown paper bag. The second one is drawn with pen onto a brown paper bag, with the outline and some detail hand stitched. Now I just have to finish painting the bathroom so I can hang them up!
