3D vessel

At a course with Celyn Textiles, Sheila taught us to make a 3D vessel using scraps of shiny and glittery fabrics, machine embroidery, and cocktail and bamboo sticks. I love the idea, but am running out of space to put things, maybe some hooks in the ceiling might be the order of the day. I'll add it my hubbies ever growing list of jobs to do.

Fabric tag

I have made this fabric tag for a swap on an art forum I belong to. I haven't swapped anything for ages and have left it to the last minute.
The base fabric is a gelli print with coloured lutradur on top. I did some machine embroidery on top and the used a heat gun to burn away some of the lutradur. I then added some bits of tyvek and some machine embroidered bits left over from another project. Some buttons were added to finish off.

Tag Tuesday -- Down on the farm

All I could manage this week are chickens on an egg farm. I didn't have any stamps for farm animals so chickens it is. The background is distress inks, and at the bottom I embossed some grass. I used a Crafty Individuals stamp for the main image and a Chocolate Baroque one for the cockerel. I coloured then with Derwent Intense crayons. I added some china eggs in the grass carefully guarded by the cockerel.

Every Inchie Monday -- Envelope

Envelope is the word this week, and it sounded like an easy one. Well it wasn't, I found I wasn't satisfied with just drawing one, so made one with a coloured inside and a letter popping out of the top. The red blob is a seal.

The sewn one is an international one with the red and blue edge.

Artful Times DT piece. -- Party party

This challenge will be the last one for Artful Times as we are closing it down. There are so many challenge sites now, it has made it difficult to keep going.
For this one I have made a card with the theme of Alice in Wonderland, what a party that was.
The background is a gelli print and I have used a page from the chapter heading in the book ( A mad tea-party) I stamped all the images and coloured them in with Inktense crayons.

Tag Tuesday -- Symmetry

Not an easy one on Tag Tuesday this week. All I could think of doing was to stamp on the distress inked tag with patterns that were symmetrical. I added four metal charms for a bit of interest.

Every Inchie Monday -- Movie

For Every Inchie Monday this week the word is Movie. For the sewn inchie I have made a minion from the movie Despicable me, one of my grandchildren's favourite films. The stampbord one has a film strip, some popcorn and soda drink.
