Mrs mart's crafts

My wife does some good craftwork. Anything from quilts, jewellery making, cross stitch pictures, greetings card and other items. She isn't into posting in forums but I thought people might like to see some of the items she makes. Here are a couple of bracelets that she made:

..and my 64th Birthday Card. It has the words to The Beatles song, 'When I'm Sixty-Four' written along the length of it:

Mart tell your wife she is very talented, these are beautiful, and the intricate work is so amazing!

Re: Mrs mart's crafts

They are beautiful Mart I particularly like the quilting

Re: Mrs mart's crafts

I particularly love the bracelets Mart, vibrant, fresh and sure to be good looking on the wrist. She’s a very talented Lady.

Re: Mrs mart's crafts

What beautiful bracelets. So delicate.
My sister had a go at making jewellery and it takes painstaking skill and a creative eye to fashion something so beautiful.

Re: Mrs mart's crafts

What a clever girl you've got there, Mart. Her work is really lovely.

Re: Mrs mart's crafts

Yes, she is very clever and is always busy making some item or other. She is knitting a cardigan as I write. Here is a necklace that she made:

Re: Mrs mart's crafts

Truly beautiful work. I wish I was so talented!

Re: Mrs mart's crafts

Could she take craft classes and teach other people Mart? She is so good.

My Mum used to love her craft shows, but her eyes and hands got too poorly to do it eventually. She used to mostly decorate egg shells like the Faberge eggs. Dad used to cut the shells for her with a special tiny saw, and then Mum would put hinges on and make little doors etc, and decorate them inside and out. Finally they were mounted on ornate stands.
She did goose eggs, rhea eggs, and even some of her tortoise eggs!
