Every Inchie Monday -- Starfish

Still at the seaside on Every Inchie Monday, and this time it's the starfish, or as someone told us in Australia, they should be called sea stars, which I think is a much nicer name.
I used my lovely gold leather for the sewn one and shrink plastic for the stampbord one.

Try it on Tuesday -- Stitch it

Another entry for Try It on Tuesday's theme of stitch it.  This one is made from pieces of fabric that have been printed on my gelli plate. The leaf print is from an Indian block and over dyed with Procion dyes. I then quilted it with straight machine stitches.

Tag Tuesday -- Paris

This is my second tag for Tag Tuesday where I haven chosen Paris for the next two weeks.
The base is corrugated card and I have ripped away some of the top layer and embossed it with blue powder. I then added all the images, ribbon, and a brad of the Eiffel tower.

Try it on Tuesday -- Stitch it

Try it on Tuesday has the theme of stitch it. Just up my street as I am making a fabric book at the moment. Here is a page from that book. It is made up of scraps of fabric, sewn down with machine embroidery stitches. I stamped the owl onto fabric and embroidered it, and placed it on some tree branches made from fine corduroy

Thursday Journal with Neet

Another anything goes this week, and mine was a last minute make. I used two of Dyan's Dylusion figures for the images. In fact part from the quote, everything is Dylusions.
I am in a lot of pain with my leg, and the new pain killers are not touching it, just making me light headed.  We are away next week as well so I must get on with the next one.

I am also entering this in Art Journal Journey, where Yvonne theme is Colour in my world

Tag Tuesday -- Paris

It's my turn to host on Tag Tuesday for the next two weeks, and I have chosen Paris. My first tag has a base of card which I have inked and then proceeded to cover it up with images, and it was really pretty. I love the image of the Eiffel tower with the view through, and have based the rest of the tag on romance, as that what a lot of us associate with the city. I added some lace and flowers to complete the scene.

Every Inchie Monday -- Crab

This week we are still at the seaside with the crab. My stampbord one is shrink plastic and for the sewn one I used some leather with hand stitching.
When we were on the Isle of Skye last week we found a lovely quiet beach and I found a few lovely crab shells that managed the trip home without breaking. Luckily the crabs were not at home.
I have some hermit crabs in my marine tank, and two of them are covered in long green algae, so they look like hippies with long dyed hair. Perhaps I should have used those for my inchie.
