Green Domino?


It's new challenge day at Crafty Ribbons Challenge and I'm very excited as I got to pick this weeks theme!  I went with Anything BUT A Card - so I'm hoping we'll get a huge variety of projects.

I have altered a domino...


I gave a few coats of white gesso to start off with a good surface


Then, I got out my India inks - green, grass green and a tiny bit of black.


I wrapped the side with mini gingham ribbon.  I also added a little white with my posca paint pen.


And I added two buttons tied with a little more mini gingham.


Using check ribbon and buttons.

I also get to pick the top three - I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!  Pop over and link up any non-card project you make in the next week...

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.   ...
