Inspired by the Sea

I borrowed Wendy's Elusive Images sea stamps so that I could join in the Graphicus ATC swap with a Sea theme, I used up some fabric that I had made some time ago by layering and stitching organzas, I then adhered the EI small seahorse. The ship card was coloured with ink,literally, as i somehow got blue ink on my hands when I changed the printer cartridge, I then swiped the baby wipe, that I had used to clean up the ink, across the card to create the sea and sky - waste not, want not!

Crafting meet.

Just passing the time finishing off a machine felted atc as I wait for my weekend visitors to arrive, Wendy and her OH are staying with us and tomorrow we'll be meeting up with Viv and other crafters at the Do Crafts meet, should be a good day.The theme for Tuesday Taggers this week is flowers so hopefully this atc will fit in well.

Beermat Book

This month's challenge on GAS MAMMA was to alter beermats/coaster and make a book, any theme but a stamp must be used in the making - I chose a favourite media of mine,a mix of fabric, lace and paper with embellishments and vintage ladies, hence the title - Ladies and Lace.

And more.

Surely i'll have enough atcs to swap on saturday.

And a couple more.

UFOs

The big clear up unearthed a few unfinished ATCs so as I will need a good few for the meet next weekend I've had a finishing day,they are a mixture of machine embellished, painted abaca tissue and fabric/paper collage. I also have a raffle prize to make then I should be free to carry on with my beermat book.

Calm

Finished at last, there was really a point when I thought it'd never be right again, trouble is how long before it's chaos again.
