WW1



Well, here is my effort for his months White With 1 challenge.  The colour is CORAL and you need to use decorative edges.  I'm not entirely happy with it.  It feels more like 1 With White - too much coral... and I'm not convinced my edges are decorative enough... anyhoo, lets have a look...
 
 


I took a sheet of coral and white hexagon paper and cut the straight edges off with my craft knife.  This is attempt one at decorative edges.  Added some gesso.  All of my layers are cut first of all straight and then with a perforating cutter a few mm's in from the edge.  It gives a faux stitching feel to the layers.  This is attempt two at decorative edges!


 
 
Then a few close ups of the embellishment clusters...  Thanks to Mum for the crocheted hexagon!
 

 
 
I didn't have a white hexagon button so I dunked one in gesso :)
 

 
 
Loads of white star sequins too...
 

 
 
This is probably the best picture for seeing the close up of the edges...

What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by

    Great layout, Laura, with lots of interesting layers. Single colour pieces are always interesting, I think, and the coral is an unusual colour.

    How lovely to hear from you again! One day (hopefully sooner rather than later!) I shall be rejoining WOYWW again - I've started taking boxes over to the new house ready for setting up my new ARTHaven - I can't wait!

    Sorry to hear you had problems with your staircase, having a stairlift fitted. Ours is a straight staircase, and the only problem is the door right at the bottom, but they have hinged tracks nowadays to take care of that. I am thrilled with all the discounts I've got!! It's going to make life sooo much easier - another thing to get really excited about in our new house! Keep an eye on my blog for further "during" photos as the work progresses!

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.   ...
