Stick It Down


I usually love working with sketches.  This one... not so much!  I must have a word with the designer... ;)


I soldiered on though and on the fourth attempt this happened.


I switched the ombre splodges on the sketch for sequins all picked out from my SpiegelMom Scraps stash.  I've stuck them down with mini glue dots from allthingssticky.co.uk


My cluster is made up of bits and bobs.  Some patterned paper, a swatch of paint, scribble circle cut files, tissue paper and a tag.


I edged the scalloped border cut file, tag and ribbon with a neon yellow pen for a little pop of contrasting colour.


I abandoned the strip down the left and went for a line of mixed media work.  I used my Graphikliners from Derwent - they are good for messy scribbles and splotches.  To quote a friend 'I love their incontinence!'


And in the end, I'm quite pleased with it!  Join us over at Stick It Down with your take on this terrible sketch, haha!!

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.   ...
