The honeysuckle may not have matched what was in your” mind’s eye” but it was truly a feat of “ sewing engineering “ !! Impressive really!! I can tell it didn’t fulfill your expectations- so you will have another go at it- which is where great ideas and techniques come from! So all good! Have a great get away- I will be thinking about you in beautiful Scotland!! Thanks again for all your hard work and sharing your creativity- a joy to us all!!
Oh Marion! This is genius!! To see you work and create what you envision is marvelous! The Hawthorne stems, the leaves and the flowers are just beautiful! Thanks for sharing your talents and inspiring us❤️
You really are a sculptural artist Marion!! Your mind’s eye is very imaginative!! Awesome! I can’t wait for another Honeysuckle!! But I must say that I really love what you did here!! Given your restrictions, I don’t think you could have done better!! It is beautiful! You are a bit hard on yourself. You have also been very inspiring to others here and given us lots of ideas!! Thank you so very much!! You are a lovely person! 💕Donna
Marion I found you several weeks ago and can't get enough of you. Your birds and flowers are amazing. You are not a crafter like most of us , you are a very talented artist. Your work is unbelievable and I love everything you do. I watch for you every day. Hope you have a wonderful holiday and God bless. Keep up the amazing work, I love watching you.
I’m not sure why you think it’s not successful I think it’s an absolute triumph. It was so enjoyable joining you on this creative journey and I love it ❤
I think you are too harsh with yourself Marion, I think this page is another success, I only wish I had your talent and imagination. Enjoy your break away x
If all experiments would work the first time, we might not visit the idea again. I love the idea of the honeysuckle flower and think I may give it a try. I have shared you with many of my friends so they may enjoy you too! Thank you Marion for being you ❤
Gosh Marion so many skills. I remember trying to 'pick' Honeysuckle to take home for my mum from a hedge and quickly finding it really needs cutting😊 What a positive way to mark the first year after starting the channel sharing your talents and imagination. I'm sure that your family are proud of you. God bless.
I think it is amazing….totally wonderful. I made a felted quiet book for my son when he was small……and each page was real thick and fat, and the book didn’t lie thin, but it was darling and he played w/ it a lot of years, and his little brothers, too. Your pages are perfect. You are a joy to watch. Thank you!
Watching your vid from year ago, making the honeysuckles, blimey you have sooo much patience working on fiddly bits but you've achieved very realistic looking flowers using very little fabrics, & so it goes on & on, that flower book is quite something & deserves to be on display in a museum! Much love, jen in Reading UK X
Marion your creativity has no bounds really! This was stunning. You should do a larger piece just like this and put it in a shadow box frame so that you have plenty of room to make it just as you would like. It would be stunning.
I think you honeysuckle page is very beautiful! The thoughts that cross your mind have really been brought to life! Thanks for sharing your creativity!
I've flirted with the idea of a series of 3 dimensional flower portraits... There's no way I'd manage one each week though, so then I thought it would be boring to watch...
Bonjour Madame je vous suis depuis quelques jours et j admire tout ce que vous faîtes c c'est extrêmement minutieux avec vos mains ça paraît simple je commence à bricoler et brodés certains ouvrages encore bravo pour ce que faites et meilleurs voeux à vous et à votre famille pour l année 2024 bravo
Marion, I think you are 100% genuine about your feelings and opinions. If you feel the page is inferior to your imagined page, then you are correct. I was again blown away by your mixed media art created with sow’s ears and floral tape. Believe me, not everyone can stretch and twirl simultaneously. In a comment, someone called you a sewing engineer. I think that’s spot on! Did you once dream of being an architect? Marion, I hope your sabbatical is restorative. Walk in beauty.
Thanks Mara. I appreciate your comment. I think it's the first time I felt constrained by the size of the page. I really wanted to do justice to the honeysuckle and didn't want to do a flat embroidery. It's most definitely going to be something I revisit and make lifesize!
Oh my goodness Marion, your creative ideas are Absolutely Stunning, love love love the honeysuckle, your work is so creative and your way of sharing the process and easy style is very much appreciated. Thank you once again
I agree with several commenters that you are more an artist than a crafter. This low relief is lovely and would look really nice as a bigger piece if that is what you decide to do. I've mentioned before I enjoy watching the process as well as the finished project. I am hoping many more people find your channel as I believe you have a lot of artistic talent to share. Thanks for the video and hope you have a lovely time in Scotland. (I am hoping to go there one day as my paternal relatives are from Scotland and England.)
Thank you so much for your lovely message to me. I've been making things since I was a child. But it was always just for myself and family. I have been amazed at the way everyone has enjoyed seeing what I'm doing. I'm still not on most of the social media. Just here and Instagram, which I joined a few weeks ago.
The honeysuckle I'm familiar with (Upper Midwest, US) was shrubby, not vining. And when we were kids, we would pluck the blossoms and pull the stamens out from the back to get that tiny drop of sugary nectar - which of course we 'drank' - if one can drink a tiny drop! There's a book called Honeysuckle Sipping, The Plant Lore of Childhood that you might enjoy. We played with plants quite a lot when I was young. I'm in awe of the true artistry of your work. I've watched lots of other people and I've indulged in many creative efforts over many, many decades. I recognize an artist that takes things to another level, putting their own personality and stamp on their work and investing time and loving care in their projects. I fell in love with your Viking doll (I did dollmaking for awhile!) and I'm never less than wowed by any of your work.
Thank you so much for your lovely message 😊 Yes we used to do the same with the honeysuckle. Also with fuchsia flowers too! I'm so amazed all the time by everyone's reaction to what I do... until a few months ago only family and a couple of friends used to see it all...
Every video you do is out standing , I wish I had the ability to create the beautiful pages you have made , each and every one is so unique and stunning , it's a privilege to watch your video's . Enjoy your time in Scotland xx❤
Thank you so much. There used to be a magazine here in the 70's called Golden Hands. It used to have every type of craft in it, but mainly sewing and knitting etc. My Mam used to get it every week. It was always so inspirational and I still have things that I made from patterns in there!
I’ve only just recently found you Marion and to say your artistic talent blows me away is truly an understatement! I’m so looking forward to watching your other episodes until I catch up and also getting to know you. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these, I’m sure other viewers like myself feel totally transported as we watch you transform whatever you’re working on into a wonderful creation. 🧵🪡🧶🍃🙋♀️
Thank you for this lovely message Jeanette. I'm so happy you are enjoying watching. This one ran away from me a bit and made my little book so thick I had to do some major changes at the finish!
Marion this is the very first time I’ve seen 3D or stump work. Am totally inspired. Perhaps if you had done a large one , I would of been overwhelmed. Thank you 🦋🦋
When I was young, my grandparents had an enormous honeysuckle, which we could play inside. The smell always takes me back. Another incredible page. You’re so talented ❤. Enjoy your break
You have the most amazing ideas about how to achieve a certain look ! Your honeysuckle looks just like mine in the garden, so I’d say it’s a success . However, I can understand that you think it would look even better in 3D, more alive. But the very nature of “ a book” , is flat and pictorial, as opposed to three dimensional and sculpture like. Unless you feel like trying to make a pop up one 😁 I will be thinking of you this next week , and truly hope you can enjoy your time in Scotland 😘xx
I love your honeysuckle page it's come out so well. You are very talented. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your spoon carving, it's good to do something positive at this difficult time of year for you. Thinking of you.
Awww what a sweet “sweet honeysuckle”, Marion my dear, you have not only the talent to transform materials into pieces of art, but you also have an amazing understanding of flowers. This is another great page and example that you can pretty much make anything that you envisioning in your head. Hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip to Scotland
Another lovely flower page Marion. Watching your process in making this page was so interesting. I sometimes don’t think you know just how talented you are. Do hope you have a wonderful time in Scotland ❤
So pretty, I was at awe how you did it 😮and held my breath when you started to write on the finished page. I would be so afraid to mess it up at the very end, like misspelling a word. 😅 Honeysuckle is my favorite flower (scent), it reminds me of holidays in Cornwall.
This page is as wonderful as the others. I love your technique with the wire and thread. The honeysuckle is a great addition to your book. Please share some photos from Scotland and have a a nice time while you're there. Carving spoons? 🤩 You amaze me with all your creative endeavors. 🌻
I agree with you on your honeysuckle. The buds are cool and thorn branches, all of it turned out great. I think it was just a bit too big for the page. I have honeysuckle in my yard too and LOVE it. Have a great get away in Scotland!
Thanks Jodi. I really felt constrained by the size of the page. But it's all learning ☺️ It just means I get the chance to do something else on a grander scale....☺️🪡🧵
Wow!!! You are amazing in your creativity!!! The thorns on your hawthorn branch is so neat!!! The honeysuckle brought back some sweet memories of when my adult children were very young, about 4 and 2....there was a large amount of the sweet honeysuckle outside my back door and I loved the smell...the bumblebees liked it too...my children would pick me some...sweet memories 💖 thank you so much Marion for bringing back these memories to me ❤ blessings to you ❤ also, I noticed your top...did you get the skirt attached? Have a good time while you are away for a bit 😊
I'm so pleased my page brought good memories back for you. So lovely! Yes I've been wearing my dress a lot. I've scheduled a video about it for whilst I'm away, so you'll see how it turned out ☺️
Good evening Marion, such a beautiful page , you are so... talented, thank you for sharing with us ,such a good idea. Have a peaceful, pleasant weekend, soft warm hugs Teresa xx
I love honeysuckle too and you’ve really crated something truly beautiful for your book. However, I can fully appreciate how your creativity and your idea has been cut short by the confines of the book page. I am currently training one to grow up some hazel on one side of my front door. My door frame has got moulding which is like a very tall carved stone fire surround. I’ve got some twisted branches, from a tree that I cut back for someone, lying on the “mantle piece” and I’ve got two clematis climbing up the other side of the door. I’m hoping that this year the honeysuckle and the clematis will grow enough to meet on the “mantle piece” and become tangled together up there. Anyway, when you were talking about being disappointed with the outcome of your page and wanting to revisit the honeysuckle on a larger scale, what I’m doing with mine just popped into my head and got tangled with something you’ve said about decorating your fire surround..so perhaps you could bring your garden indoors and have it growing up the side of your fireplace. Another idea that popped into my head was to have it “growing” up a standard lamp to form the lampshade at the top I’m late to comment on this video, and you’ve probably already hatched your plan for both the honeysuckle sculpture already, but I just wanted to let you know my thoughts. If nothing else, you’ve inspired me to bring some of my garden indoors and perhaps try to create a honeysuckle or clematis sculpture of my own ❤
They're both absolutely brilliant suggestions thank you! I haven't revisited the honeysuckle yet as there's been other things that have captured my attention.
@@marionsworld24 You are just fantastic. Only found you in the last week or so and have been binge watching your flower book as you make it and am going to watch all your videos. Wish we lived closer (I am in Australia) to one an other we are of a similar age and I have no one to share my craft with. Please keep doing what you do. Hope this does not freak you out. Tina
Sorry for too many comments Marion! Since I am catching up and watching out of order, I don’t know which video has the spiral on the bird feeder.(I’m not even sure that I have that right but that’s how the transcript said it.) Thank you! Again!💕Donna
It was sparrow Donna. I wrapped a piece of cardboard to make a perch for the bird feeder on the sparrow embroidery. It just got me thinking more about low relief stitching.
That's stunning Marion! What about doing something 3D that goes under a glass dome? My favourite honeysuckle is Graham Stuart Thomas which I have planted next to the front door and climbs over the porch. Sending hugs and best wishes and enjoy your break.
I'll definitely be making a 3D one... 😊 I have the same variety... it's the one over my shady bench at the top of the garden. Another one to look out for is Sweet Sue. It's a yellow one and has the most gorgeous scent of an evening....😊
Marion, the sheer amount of creativity it takes to create this Honeysuckle is beyond amazing! It is a work of art.
💐thank you..
The honeysuckle may not have matched what was in your” mind’s eye” but it was truly a feat of “ sewing engineering “ !! Impressive really!! I can tell it didn’t fulfill your expectations- so you will have another go at it- which is where great ideas and techniques come from! So all good!

So beautiful 🎉
Oh Marion! This is genius!! To see you work and create what you envision is marvelous! The Hawthorne stems, the leaves and the flowers are just beautiful! Thanks for sharing your talents and inspiring us❤️
I forgot to ask, what is the name of the beautiful flower book you showed?
💐
It's the Reader's Digest Field Guide to the Wild Flowers of Great Britain.
You really are a sculptural artist Marion!! Your mind’s eye is very imaginative!! Awesome! I can’t wait for another Honeysuckle!! But I must say that I really love what you did here!! Given your restrictions, I don’t think you could have done better!! It is beautiful! You are a bit hard on yourself. You have also been very inspiring to others here and given us lots of ideas!! Thank you so very much!! You are a lovely person! 💕Donna
I've never got around to making a life-size one. I'll have to see if I can fit something in...
Marion I found you several weeks ago and can't get enough of you. Your birds and flowers are amazing. You are not a crafter like most of us , you are a very talented artist. Your work is unbelievable and I love everything you do. I watch for you every day. Hope you have a wonderful holiday and God bless. Keep up the amazing work, I love watching you.
My goodness Pat. Thank you for such a lovely message. I'm pleased you're enjoying my channel and what I try to create. 💐🧵🪡
I’m not sure why you think it’s not successful I think it’s an absolute triumph. It was so enjoyable joining you on this creative journey and I love it ❤
😅 thank you Sue...
You blow my mind with your artistry, how lucky are we that you share your unbelievable talent with us…
You've reminded me that a lifesize honeysuckle sculpture is on my list of projects 😅
I think you are too harsh with yourself Marion, I think this page is another success, I only wish I had your talent and imagination. Enjoy your break away x
Thanks Jean. I think we're all our own worst critic...
If all experiments would work the first time, we might not visit the idea again. I love the idea of the honeysuckle flower and think I may give it a try. I have shared you with many of my friends so they may enjoy you too! Thank you Marion for being you ❤
You've reminded me that this project is still on my waiting to do list!

Another fabulous flower. I love honeysuckle. You did a grand job.❤
Truly beautiful. Great job. Have a blessed day 🌺🌈🙏🌈🌺
Marion, it is exceptional!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!You are an amazing artist!!🌷🌸🌿
Enjoy your fantastic Scotland trip and your carving!!

I thought I'd have made a life-size honeysuckle by now.. but I just never got around to it somehow!
WOW......Marian.....WOW.
😅💐
It is amazing your sewing abilities are impressive but because you explain everything so well you make beginners like me hopeful❤
Thank you. That's just what I hope to do 💐
Marion, your work is absolutely stunning. You are a very talented lady. Enjoy bonnie Scotland and may the sun shine while you are there. 🌺🦚
I'm hoping so, but the weather won't stop me doing things. In this country in September you expect rain and get pleasantly surprised when it's fine 😅
Marion your creativity has no bounds really! This was stunning. You should do a larger piece just like this and put it in a shadow box frame so that you have plenty of room to make it just as you would like. It would be stunning.
I'll definitely be doing that. Or even maybe a 3D sculpture in a plant pot!
I think you honeysuckle page is very beautiful! The thoughts that cross your mind have really been brought to life! Thanks for sharing your creativity!

What a treat.Returned to the huneysuckle page.Remarkable.
I've flirted with the idea of a series of 3 dimensional flower portraits...
There's no way I'd manage one each week though, so then I thought it would be boring to watch...
I love how you try new techniques to accomplish what you have in mind! Beautiful!
Whatever gets the job done 🧵🪡😊

It's the things I learn from your 'experiments' that I truly value. Thankyou.
Brilliant!☺️
I think it is wonderful 🎉you did well in such a small place. You can almost smell the sweet sent of the Honey Suckle ❤
It did make my book so thick though 🤔
Your page is beautiful and realistic! 😊
Wow, Marion. Just. Wow. ❤
🤣
Beautiful work of art. Thanks for sharing 🧵🪡♥️
Oh my goodness Marion, your creative ideas are Absolutely Stunning, love love love the honeysuckle, your work is so creative and your way of sharing the process and easy style is very much appreciated. Thank you once again

I'd forgotten that project 🤔 hmm ...

The thorns worked out so well!
It’s lovely Marion, the way you made the flower is an eyeopener. Love your work❤️
Thank you Margerie. I do love to get some texture and make things a bit 3D...

Have a lovely time in Bonnie Scotland Marion. I live in Australia but originally from Scotland. Love your honeysuckle.
Oh.. where do you hail from? I'm staying north of the Cairngorms....
I am from Kilmarnock Marion but left there in 1971 but been home three times since..
I love your honeysuckle page it's come out so well. You are very talented. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your spoon carving, it's good to do something positive at this difficult time of year for you. Thinking of you.
Thank you. That's the general idea and I hope it works out 🤞💐
Have a lovely time in Scotland, I will look forward to your next video's ❤ Take care
☺️ I've scheduled some to fill in whilst I'm away...
So pretty, no pun intended!
Awww what a sweet “sweet honeysuckle”, Marion my dear, you have not only the talent to transform materials into pieces of art, but you also have an amazing understanding of flowers. This is another great page and example that you can pretty much make anything that you envisioning in your head. Hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip to Scotland
Thanks so much Cris. 🤞

Thank you so much. I'll be trying my best to.
You have made a very successful honey suckle page!! Love it
I think your honeysuckle page is brilliant Marion.
Thank you. I really have to make a life sized version I think...
Enjoy your change of scene Marion. My mom used to say change is as good as a rest.
💐
Another lovely project. Hope you enjoy your spoon carving. That’s on my list too.
I'm looking forward to it. I've carved a few already. I'm on a two day advanced course so I'm hoping to learn some good new techniques maybe...☺️
I love the Hneysuckle. Amazing how you can tranform the fabric, ribbons, wire and thread into Honeysuckle.
☺️🧵🪡
This page is as wonderful as the others. I love your technique with the wire and thread.
The honeysuckle is a great addition to your book. Please share some photos from Scotland and have a
a nice time while you're there. Carving spoons? 🤩 You amaze me with all your creative endeavors. 🌻
I'm sure there'll be beautiful photographs to take. 🤞
Another lovely flower. You do such beautiful work.
💐
Your page is delightful, you can nearly smell the fragrance.😊
I thought the same thing on this one!!! I could smell honeysuckle!

Amazing!
I agree with you on your honeysuckle. The buds are cool and thorn branches, all of it turned out great. I think it was just a bit too big for the page. I have honeysuckle in my yard too and LOVE it. Have a great get away in Scotland!

It just means I get the chance to do something else on a grander scale....☺️🪡🧵
I think the honeysuckle is beautiful ❤
Beautiful, love your experimentation. It has made me think about looking at all my bits and pieces differently
Brilliant Debby.... I hope you enjoy it...
Very impressive. I love it
Thank you
I think your honeysuckle is lovely, but I understand your feelings about the scale. It is fun to experiment and that's how we learn....
That's absolutely right. Totally agree ☺️
❤ TFS! Lovely
It's wonderful... you are so talented... Thank you🦋 .........(My thoughts for next week... take care)🦋

I’m late to comment on this video, and you’ve probably already hatched your plan for both the honeysuckle sculpture already, but I just wanted to let you know my thoughts. If nothing else, you’ve inspired me to bring some of my garden indoors and perhaps try to create a honeysuckle or clematis sculpture of my own ❤
They're both absolutely brilliant suggestions thank you! I haven't revisited the honeysuckle yet as there's been other things that have captured my attention.
You are an amazing artist, I love your creativity
Great work😊
Thank you so much for the compliment 💐
I love your work
We will miss you next week take care of yourself
Oh... I've left you some little scheduled extras ......☺️
Love your honeysuckle! 💛 It’s funny, but just yesterday I sucked the sweet juice from the one in our hedge! 😋xx
It's a while since I've done that ☺️ we used to do it with fuchsia flowers too ☺️
@@marionsworld24 never knew you could do that! ❤️
Just amazing are you a trained artist because you are so talented.
Nope. Not at all, just always loved being creative..☺️
@@marionsworld24 You are just fantastic. Only found you in the last week or so and have been binge watching your flower book as you make it and am going to watch all your videos. Wish we lived closer (I am in Australia) to one an other we are of a similar age and I have no one to share my craft with. Please keep doing what you do. Hope this does not freak you out. Tina
Sorry for too many comments Marion! Since I am catching up and watching out of order, I don’t know which video has the spiral on the bird feeder.(I’m not even sure that I have that right but that’s how the transcript said it.) Thank you! Again!💕Donna
It was sparrow Donna. I wrapped a piece of cardboard to make a perch for the bird feeder on the sparrow embroidery. It just got me thinking more about low relief stitching.
Just leave out one stem of Hawthorne for the small page.
It is beautiful
😊
That's stunning Marion! What about doing something 3D that goes under a glass dome? My favourite honeysuckle is Graham Stuart Thomas which I have planted next to the front door and climbs over the porch. Sending hugs and best wishes and enjoy your break.
I'll definitely be making a 3D one... 😊
I have the same variety... it's the one over my shady bench at the top of the garden. Another one to look out for is Sweet Sue. It's a yellow one and has the most gorgeous scent of an evening....😊
@@marionsworld24 Yes I have Sweet Sue too. It was my late mother's favourite.
It's a beauty ☺️🌿

Brilliant...amazing feat of engineering and art!! I think you're going to need new scissors 😅
Oh they were just my old scissors I use for all the rough stuff!😅
I look after my beautiful fabric shears. I have a lovely left handed pair.
I love honeysuckle & I think this turned out brilliantly !!! 🪡🧵
I've already planned to make a 3D life-size version!
