Sami


I saw a lovely sketch, one that I couldn't ignore.  I pretty much copied it exactly - there was not much interpretation on my part, just direct lifting.  That is how much I liked the sketch!


 I had saved some printed cellophane that a bunch of flowers came in.  I knew I could use on a layout.  I have a little fascination with ruffles at the moment.  Not really pretty girly ruffles but ruffles with a bit of edge.  I cut a strip of the cellophane and used my sewing machine to sew down the middle.  Then I pulled one of the threads to create the ruffle.  It wasn't completely successful as the cellophane started to perforate along the line of stitches, but it held together enough to use.  I stuck it down with super sticky red back tape so it is not going anywhere now!!


The sketch is by Ashley Horton...



Let me know what you think!

  1. Lovely LO.

    Sami was a handsome lad. I had a Budgie that looked just like him. Mine was Freddie. He would chatter away and say 'Freddie good boy, pretty pretty'. My favourite was 'Stupid bird':)

    Hope you have a lovely weekend. Sue

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.   ...
