Repitition

A design aspect I am really enjoying using this year is reptition.  As I've looked back through my creations so far this year it seems to be a recurring theme - perhaps my go to design.

This layout has multiple watering can die cuts.  Rainbow colour is, and always will be, another of my go to design elements. Rainbow anything is cheerful and that's what I need when I'm crafting.

This next layout features a wooden crate slat that I used oyt of context.  Without the rest of the die set it doesn't make itself known as part of a crate, it's just a rectangle with holes at eother end.  I've threaded them on cotton and made a feature of them.

In this next photo you can see them as intended on the right hand side.

And then back to rainbow, but this time tag shaped rainbows...

I love how this one turned out and it reminds me to sew on more of my projects.  Even white thread on white card adds so much texture and subtle interest.

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.   ...
