Bee Happy in Pink


Happy Tuesday - I've gone all pink again!

This is my entry for In the Pink.




I was so chuffed to be picked as a favourite for the first challenge - thank you very much Posh and Pretty.

This weeks theme is things with wings.  I have gone for a pink bumble bee.  Having done the drawing I sort of wish they exist now!




I found a photo online and copied the basic outline and shape, picked out all my pink colouring pencils and got to work.  The bee in the photo was very hairy so I used a super fine paintbrush and some ink to add hairs on top of the colouring pencil.




Thanks for popping by!

    Wow Laura - wouldn't it be fun if there were pink bees in the world!! You have done a great job of the drawing and colouring, and it's a perfect card for this fortnight's challenge!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
