I thought I'd make Nancy a snap bag to hold her coupons. I grabbed some fabric, batting and had at it! I think she'll like it...and I hope she uses it! I shipped it off in the mail and she should have before her BD. I also made a fiber card for a friend but don't have a picture of it to share yet.
I'm also making progress on my Blue Squirrel. I know it doesn't look like it but you can see the last pic on him here. Keep in mind I'm using #11 and #15 delica's and seed beads so it does take some time to fill in! HA
I'm not sure what that really dark area is...there are some small pink areas from some of the flowers I had. Almost looks like rust but it's from the wood chips I laid ontop of the leaves and flowers.
So other than complaining about our heat and eating lots of great corn on the cob...it's just summer in Michigan!
Such an inspiring post…..great gift idea you came up with!! AND…..of course the blue squirrel……it’s looking VERY good…….
ReplyDeleteOur Folly Beach get-a-way is coming next month…..so anxious to play with the wood chips you shared with me…...
I did some eco dying in June. All of my pieces came out light. We decided it's because there may have been another fiber in ky silk. Like rayon maybe. That takes a different mordant. My wool was fabulous though! Will try again next time...
ReplyDeleteYour squirrel is coming right along; beading takes a long time. (As you know, I'm VERY familiar with those long-term projects.) The light color of your eco-dyed fabric is really nice--just right for a background.
ReplyDeleteI think snap bags are so clever. I SEE the progress on your blue rodent without having to flip back to see. I always love seeing your beading. You have such a great knack for variegating beads.
