Jane Panton - December

Red for December as it is a traditional colour for this time of year. I used a selection of wools and sari waste, simply embellishing them onto a piece of pelmet vilene. Quick and easy!

Jane Panton - November

Grey for November, inspired by a day's birdwatching at Wheldrake Ings nature reserve near Selby. The landscape was almost monochrome with trees reflected in the lake. Strips of painted Lutrador with machine embroidery.
