So for me writing that makes sense is always a challenge.For this reason anyone who can write poetry I really respect and admire.
I’ve mentioned Happygrams before and yesterday received this beautiful poem and orb web spider created by Lo.I’m currently creating a mixed media forest setting so have been making tree bark.I burnt rather too large of a hole in the charring process so can now make this a focal point using Lo’s spider.It adds another story to the piece which in time I will share.
So I started to experiment with hand dyeing fabric a while back.I don’t do this very often and tend to hoard the fabric produced.The left hand page is one experiment and has E’s crochet flowers from Norway.The right hand page is pure play and I like it.
So we were discussing color in class and one boy said “black is not a color”.Four months on I’m still coming back to this statement.
This book is made of papercloth embellished with vintage,gifted and handmade beads.Bound with hand-dyed floss from a happygram.
The tag is hidden in the folds of the book to be a secret message as to it’s components creators.
So Fantasy is not just about my craft.
I used swap pieces as accents for the book.As I send postal swaps all over the world it is a fun way to craft.
The flowers and sun where by E in Norway,
sewn by an Essex girl looking at Seattle.
How did you get to be crafty is a question I get asked all the time.I think know it’s part genetics.My Mum is crafty and for that matter my Dad makes amazing fused class.
It goes back further my Great Aunt Kathy she owned an autograph book with is dated 1924-1947.I became the custodian of this book this winter and have decided to use it as a focus for projects.
This is the first of a growing collection.
I love to share stitches.This is why I host and participate in swaps regularly.Sharing a new technique or inspiring other to experiment with their own creativity is a wonderful part of my daily routine.Lydia’s creations are her first experience with Inchies and she received the crafty care package below.I learnt that my heat gun is a great tool for ATC’s and Inchies.Watch out for the burn !
2nd post and it kicks in !
The image is from Art Appreciation not apprehension. Just those 3 or 4 letters in the middle make all the different !
I could just stick to images or let peeps correct the spelling?
Huge day for me finished up art apprehension project “Forestales”.
Received a beautiful ceramic bowl from Hawaii and got news that an article I wrote last summer has been published.
