Letter Holder

 
 
I'm taking Ronda Palazzari's Art of Pen Pal course and one of the first things she taught us to make was this really cute letter carrier.
 
 
 
 
It's such a cute idea that I have already made one more and have papers ready to make another!  I think they will make perfect gifts or RAK's, especially for those who send letters or cards regularly.  I've also repurposed my second one for a recipe folder...
 



Ronda gives us heaps of options and keep saying 'make it you' so I did...  It's green - very me.  It has paisley - very me.  It has washi - very me.  It has a little glitter - very me.  The one thing it is missing is ribbon but I fixed that with make number two which I will share in a separate post tomorrow.


 
 
Inside has two pockets - I'm keeping sheets of paper in one pocket and envelopes in the other pocket at the moment.  During the course I will send and receive letters and art from the same person, they will become my pen pal for want of another term.  I intend to put her letters in one of the pockets to keep the safe and all together and use the other pocket for things I will be sending to her. 
 
 
 

It has quite a high capacity... I reckon you could get quite a few letters in with no problems.


 
 
So there you have it.  A cute letter holder.  I'm sharing this with my classmates and Ronda.  And if you drop by from anywhere else Ronda is running the course again in September, so far I've learnt a lot and I would recommend giving the course a go  :)


Thanks for stopping by
:)

WOYWW 159

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 up in the corresponding g

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.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
