Just grab a selection of fabric and paper scraps.......
........choose a few and layer them.....
......then add some stitching.
My favourite pastime :-)
Close ups.....
I used my hand-made background papers (some on kitchen towel), gold lace (thank you
Jacky ;-) text (thank you '
All Saints', who wrap purchases in the best tissue ever), dyed mulberry bark, random-dyed silk fabric, silk dupion, plus one of my favourite
Paper Whimsy images which I machine stitched (very slowly ;-)
I then glued the finished collage to a piece of painted ply wood.
I have another sales outlet now...'.
The Emporium' in Draycott. My daughter's shop opens in two weeks...more of that to come later.
My journals are all stitched and ready.....
The insides are decorated too....
...and I'm thinking about making paper bands for them with my sticker on the back.
Collaged postcards and tags next!
In my last post I said I'd show you Peachy's next catch.
Well this time it was a vole ...... and it was HUGE!
I came downstairs and found it cowering by the conservatory door surrounded by what I thought was a pile of black rice. Thankfully the poor thing was unharmed........and Peachy was nowhere to be seen. No doubt he was bored by this catch and back in the woods looking for something more exciting.
Of course, he tried to get round me later......
'Love you Mum..........'
