WOYWW & Pastel Coloured Mini Album - Part I



Not technically a desk photo but this is what I have been up to on my desk... and the photos were taken on a tidy part of desk.




So pleased with this!  I have had these photos for ages and wanted to make something fabulous with them but was never quite sure what!  Ali has featured it today as a Hello Wednesday too!




When I saw Ali's new ribbon was sewing themed I knew I wanted to use it with these photos.

 
 
 
 
Now I've gone a bit crazy with the photos so I'm splitting this post in to two parts so I can share all the details with you...




 

 
 






I've used ribbons from Crafty Ribbons, Martha Stewart tabs, DoCrafts letter rub-ons, a white gel pan
and aperture tags from my stash.
 
 
 
 
 
Do pop back tomorrow to see part II... and make sure you go to Julia's to nose around 100's of desks!  (Sorry if this post was a bit long Julia!)

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... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

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.   ...
