Neon Tree

I rather like the sketch over at another freaking scrapbook challenge.  I saved it thinking it would be one for the future, thinking I would not have enough time to join in with the challenge, but yesterday the inspiration struck and I needed to 'make it now'. So I did!



I must have been feeling bright as I used quite a lot of neon! I (used to) do that really irritating thing, hoarding new stash instead of using it straight away.  I'm keen to get rid of this habit. If I bought it I must have loved it. If I love it what possible reasons are there to not use it?!  These enamel dots are new (ish).



The lace and ribbon have been gelli printed.   I did these last year,  loved them, put them away.  Sigh.  So I'm learning to use what I love.  I might be learning slowly but I'll get there in the end!!



Happy Scrapbooking Day  :)

    The enamel dots go perfect with your photo. I know it is hard to use the stuff we love, but I have learned to use it all now, because I love it . Hope you join us again at AFSC

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.   ...
