'White' tag - week 3


Here is my effort for Tag Tuesday

It's a white card tag with embellished inchies and 

fabric beads decorated with white, pearl and 

silver bugles, seed beads and silver wire.

To finish, I punched the corners with little hearts and

added white satin and organza ribbon

I joined Tag Tuesday and this is my entry for week 2, Snow games and sports.

I used purple organza for the skirt and decorated with gold seed beads

and purple bugle beads.

I finished the tag with some nail varnish,

a gold stamp and gold border

Tag Tuesday

Yay, I have joined Tag Tuesday 
It's great to see all the different styles and ideas everyone comes up with.

Here is my contribution.  I didn't have an actual luggage tag so I used a piece of lilac felt roughly the right size.  I then cut two pieces of cotton, one slightly smaller than the other, frayed the edges and machined them to the felt.  I embroidered snowflakes decorated with beads and finally added some sparkly organza ribbon. 

I'm quite please with how it turned out. 

Yuletide Craftiness

Here are some of the bits and bobs I've been making this festive season.

 Decoration for the door

Some yummy chocolate orange fudge to give away

I decorated each jar with a bit of gingham and organza, 

some fabric beads, an inchie and an organza bow

 Solstice Cards:

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

embellished with some recycled ribbon.

 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.  

Stained Glass

I started off with an old bathroom cabinet

removed the glass and designed a simple pattern of purple seedy glass and clear cathedral glass.

I cut the glass and lead to fit the pattern and use horseshoe nails to hold in place

and spot solder the joins

I use cement to secure the glass

 

and sprinkle whiting over the entire piece which dries out the cement 

Once it is all cleaned off, I use black leading compound and then polish and fit the windows.

and replace the doors to the cupboard which was stripped and sanded

 Finally, I fitted these cute spiral handles

Decorated Denim

A denim jacket I got from eBay which I decorated with purple  and gold silk and gold thread.  My favourite combination of colours.  I looks good and I love wearing it.

Love is all you need

This is a small wall hanging I made for valentines day.  Most of the bits and bobs were left over from the festive season.  I've used assorted buttons, Terry's chocolate orange wrapper, foil top and wire from wine and champagne bottles, a tiny bell, felt and sweet wrappers

VW Camper Van Friends

I recently made this throw and cushion as a wedding gift for some friends who have a VW campervan. As usual, I started with some lovely fabric and a photo of their camper and then the project evolved from there.
