Stick It Down


Today I am sharing my take on the December Stick It Down sketch.  I was really taken with this sketch... so different and lots of different avenues to explore.



Here is what I made:



I have used Cocoa Vanilla's Make A Wish collection and some matching thread.  I cut a large script B on my silhouette cameo and used that as my starting point.


I, for some unknown reason, decided it would be a good idea to sew around the B to help it stand out...  It took longer than I imagined and had lots of kinks and wobbles in it.  But my whole outlook on crafting is there are no mistakes that can't be covered up, and the gorgeous turquoise glitter enamel dots came to the rescue!


I painted the wood veneer with an ink spray as the natural wood colour was not working for me.  And there we are!

I'd love for you to join us at Stick It Down this month... see you there!

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.   ...
