I received my other two OWOH prizes this week.......
a gorgeous dragonfly charm made by Keron Lee (who is currently organising hearts and dolls for the victims of the Australian bushfires)http://www.thecolourguru.typepad.com/ and http://loveitforward.ning.com/.......plus some great items for altering from Moira Sutton at http://www.happy-daze.net/epages/es112899.sf . I can't wait to have a go at that box!
Moira's shop is definitely worth a visit. There are all sorts of items for altering including cute bird boxes!
I made another fabric heart yesterday for a special blogging friend I met recently.
Plus 2 ATCs today - just because I felt like it!
I made the background fabric myself. After reading Judy Scott's blog and seeing her gorgeous nuno felting, I thought I would have a go. Well, I can't say it was a resounding success - but I managed to salvage it!
This was how it looked at first...but I then hand needle-felted sari silk fibres on top. You can see them here in the picture below....
After machine-stitching the picture on (transferred to fabric using JetFX) I spent a happy few hours adding beads, running stitches and french knots.
Now I'm going to make the back cover using the remains of the nuno felting......
