Leamington Junior Embroiderer, 12-year old Elizabeth Wilson, is the proud winner of the Second Prize in the Guild's 2015 De Denne* Competition: Age Range 11-16 years, 3D Object. The theme for 2014/15 was "All that Glistens", which encouraged lots of great entries. The competition is judged on interpretation, skills and originality.
Elizabeth won a prize for her snake .....
... which is made up of bands of material sewn together on the sewing machine. These were covered with a piece of netting, and beads and sequins added between the two layers to make it shinier. Elizabeth sewed the whole thing together by hand, adding little bells to the tail.
This lovely slippery snake will be on display at The Spring Knitting and Stitching Show at Olympia on 5th-8th March.
* The competition is named after the founder of the Junior Embroiderers section of the Embroiderers’ Guild.
