I used a luxuriously fluffy eyelash yarn in deep fuschia pink and a whisper of black, combined with a smooth bright pink to hand crochet this pair of slipper socks.
They're available in many colours and yarns, but all are gorgeous and snuggly soft to wear. The one size is flexible enough to fit all women.

Here's another painted canvas and embroidered wearable-art brooch featuring a piece of my sea glass collection. This time I've used shades of purple and blue on a deep mulberry felt background to frame the piece.
I love these colours, and the different textures of the brushed paint on canvas, the delicateness of the stitching and soft richness of the felt. My favourite so far I think.
This particular brooch is now SOLD. Each brooch I make is unique. But if you would like me you something similar, please let me know.
I'm experimenting with different ways to make jewelry featuring the sea glass I collect from the beach. It seems obvious now, but till now, I hadn't thought of combining painted artwork and hand-stitched embroidery. So this is a first!
For this wearable art seaglass brooch I used acrylic paint on canvas, which I snipped to a random shape, then applied a cloudy white sea glass gem and embroidered in pink and blue cotton thread inspired by colours in the painting. I hand-stitched pink felt to the reverse with a safety fastener.

Beach gem genuine sea glass pendant crochet necklace
Here's another piece of genuine sea glass from the beach. It has a lovely white frosted surface and reminds me of a slippery nugget of ice. I decided to capture it in a cool aqua green crochet basket and added a necklace 20 ins long. It fastens with a loop and bobble.
