Shirley's Page

Here is some more of Shirley's work. Pictures are clickable and will take you to a larger image.



These are two wine bottles which were already made in the green and mauve colours.



The bottle on the left is a wine bottle but the square one is an olive oil bottle from Italy.



Water bottle which Shirley gave to a friend as a thank you.



These are mineral water bottles, the blue one from Italy.



This is Shirley's hall mark on the handle of a shoe horn she made for DH.



This tassel is in USA. Shirley made it for a lady to put on the bottom of a bell pull that she had cross stitched.



This is the @ badge Shirley made when she visited her email pal in NJ to wear when she took her to the Heart of Cross Stitch show at Cherry Hill.



This is one of a set of 6 goblets that Shirley made when she went to a silver smithing class at her local technical college. She had to draw the silver wire down to size herself to make each individual scroll. Each one was applied separately and then the cone was matted using a matting tool afterwards. The cup was hand raised. The only time it went on a lathe was to line the pieces up prior to soldering. The cup, collet, cone and base were all made separately. Two of the goblets have been on display in the Goldsmith's Hall in London. They have the Chesterfield College of Art and Design Hallmark on because she did not have her own at that time.
The design is unique, not another set like them in the world. Her tutor used to work designing for Mappin and Webb in London. He helped her with the design.



Recent picture of Shirley



Blue tassel that is now in Seattle



Pair of twirling tassels for Krysia.



This is one of Margaret and Shirley when she was demonstrating spinning at Margaret's Lace Day.



A display called Spring Flowers. Shirley dyed the fleece and carded it for this display.



This is Shirley with her grandson Karl and the picture that she charted and crossed stitched of him. Karl is 9 and is a black belt in Kick Boxing. Quite an achievement for one so young and who suffers from asthma.



This is the christening robe she crocheted for her granddaughter. It is done in silk with 2 silk fabric underskirts.



These two are of the display that Shirley's friend Margaret put up at her last Lace Day. It was to thank her for all the work she had done for her while she was a craft tutor. All are items that Shirley has made.



This is a doll she dressed to make money for her local church. People had to pay 50 pence and guess the brides name.



Cake that Shirley has done. This is a Christmas cake with a snowman on top.



A cake made for David when he went back to sea after 10 years being ashore. It is a replica of the container vessel he sailed on.



Granddaughters Castle cake for her 5th birthday.



Her other granddaughters 5th birthday cake. She wanted a rainbow.



A cake for Emma's 3rd birthday



Made for the Knit and Chat club's 2nd birthday. Now they do crafts and Shirley teaches them beadwork.



This is the hug quilt that the members of the quilting group made for the people of Enschede after the firework disaster in May 2000. Shirley did the centre panel in beadwork, the dedication to the people of Enschede. She went to Holland for the presentation and it is hung in the museum in Enschede.



The grandfather clock that her husband made from pieces of old oak that he had collected over a number of years. People gave him broken old oak furniture.


**Note**
After compiling these pages and pictures for Shirley, all I have to say is what can't this wonderful woman do?!
