Embellishments

I am gathering my embellishments for my next "heavy metal" series piece. On the right hand side, I am knitting fine aluminum wire, then flattening in a book, that I will later sew onto my piece. My first piece in this series is the next post down.

  5. Love the knit wire - I saw a show of printing with knitting and tried it on gelatin blocks, but adding the metal fabric to a quilt is a novel idea. You could also string glass or metal beads on the wire before it is knit to add an extra embellishment ot the embellishment...
