Wendy explains "I intend to create a piece based on the heavily embellished front cover of the gospel book, using found jewels such as sea glass/shells etc gathered from the beaches around Holy Island. I have started to experiment with small sea glass pieces using wire stitch to show the type of effects I will use." 

 

These beautiful examples of Wendy's work  will give you an idea of the skill involved and what can be achieved. I know I am really looking forward to seeing Wendy's creation for the exhibition and am sure you all are too. Thank you Wendy for sharing this with us.
