Playing Cups


I've been playing with my counterfeit kit again.  There are a couple of sheets left which I am unsure how to use.  Rather than try and work it out today I just put them to one side and made this instead!


I kind of followed the sketch from Sketch'n'Scrap...

http://sketchnscrap.blogspot.co.uk/

 But went a bit freestyle with it too!

I used some happy happy happy ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.  It's the first time I've used it I think.  So far it has been too precious to cut!


And I also layered in some grey cotton ribbon.


The alphas are Amy Tan woodgrain thickers, at least they were before I gessoed them!  I have two packs, both of which came as part of something rather than me buying them, and I'm really struggling to use them.  I decided to gesso them and then make them match the two tone heart paper using acrylic paint.  I can see the rest of them being used up this way... they can match any and every project with the amount of paint I own!!

Linking this up at Sketch'n'Scrap!

  14. Love your adaptation of the sketch!! I know exactly how you feel about the scraps -- guess I need to learn how to get more creative to try and use mine together. I just pull out more stuff too use with pieces and try to dwindle them down one embellishment at a time. Anyhow, your page is fabulous!

WOYWW 159

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 up in the corresponding g

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.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
