cream, black and white knitted dresses framed

Two more knitted bead, wire and sari silk dresses have now been framed - this time as the dresses are a neutral colour with black or white beads, to be placed over the writing the dresses would have been lost, so instead I mounted the dresses directly onto my handmade paper and placed some ballroom script alongside them.

A new look for my knitted dresses

Last year I made these knitted dresses:-

Although I was very happy with how these turned out and I received many positive comments about them and sold a few, when I took them out to fairs people seemed a bit confused as to how to display them, I had pictured them being hung on dressing table mirrors, in windows and even on Christmas trees but I did have to keep making the suggestions to customers, as a result I decided after Christmas that I had to do something different with them. Yesterday was the day I put plan B into action.
So here are my re vamped knitted wire, sari silk and bead dresses.

midnight blue and gold

Another new necklace for you today, this stunning dark blue and gold Venetian glass bead has been sat in my box of Venetian beads for far too long, no point being hidden away so I have used it as the focal bead for this floating necklace, along with decorative gold plate beads and Swarovski crystals.
