Hello there!


I have been playing along with the mood board at like for ever this month.  It's a lovely board but it includes two things I struggle with - pink and floral.  I know when using a mood board it is perfectly acceptable to ignore the bits you don't like and use the other more 'you' items on the board but I decided I need to use the florals!

Actually, the hardest part was finding a photo to use with the blousy flowers.  Nephydude playing with trucks isn't going to cut it!  Once I had my photo it all flowed nicely...


I've used like for ever's Stargazer kit plus some mixed media supplies.  The star stencil is a Julie Fei-Fan Balzer design from The Crafter's Workshop.  I used a palette knife to push some matte medium through and left it to dry thoroughly before started with the paints.


For my blue I mixed some Daniel Smith watercolours, the pink and gold are Mr Huey's sprays. 


Thanks for stopping by!

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.   ...
