Tag Tuesday - Letter A

Tag Tuesday - Letter A

My first tag of 2013
A is for Art.  I used green and blue acrylic paints, black Posca pen and Lumiere paint to make this tag.  I finished it off with twisted wine bottle wire and a tyvek bead.

A Heart for Molly

My gorgeous daughter, Alex is expecting a baby girl so I made this hanging heart for her nursery wall. (Inspired by Carolyn Saxby's hearts)

It's embellished with free motion stitching, lots of assorted bits and bobs including tyvek beads and inchies.
I can't wait to be a granny :-)




She is going to call her Molly. xXx

Baby Molly

Hearts

The theme for Tag Tuesday this week is 'Hearts'

I recycled my tag from the bin at work, I crinkled it up a bit and painted it white. I dabbed purple ink on the tag and around the edges, added an inchie with a purple felt heart.

The big heart I cut from an old piece of kitchen paper that I use to wipe my brushes.  I added a tyvek bead, a tiny heart and a purple ribbon to finish,

I've been making a few beads to use as embellishments in future projects.

 Solstice Cards:

These I made using a Wordle image and printed onto card then

 A cute heart door hanger:

A few Inchies:

I used play foam sheets instead of batting this time 

and I found them easier to sew and the foam gives a much firmer finish

and a few tyvek beads.
