Bracelets

Hello all, still on the naughty step for not posting more often!!! Went to a beading workshop last night and this is the result of my efforts. By no means perfect, but for a first attempt at doing anything like it, I am rather pleased.

Christmas decorations

Amongst everything that has been happening I have done a small contribution towards Christmas. These are beaded baubles made into hanging Christmas Decorations. They are attached to a willow circle sprayed one gold and one silver and the appropriate colour baubles attached in a spiral fashion. The large pink one I won in a raffle so I beaded that and put it in the centre.

Near Accident

The tragedy that almost was!!!! This is what is left of the plug top that almost went up in flames. Good job the trip switch worked or I dread to think what would have happened!!!

Beaded Christmas Bauble

My first attempt at doing a beaded Christmas bauble. I am quite pleased with it. Don't know how many I will ever do as they are quite fiddly and time consuming, but it will be going on my tree this Christmas :0))

Diwali Card

Bad Blogger!!!! Over a month again. Hang my head in shame :0((

Anyhow, I was asked to make a Diwali Card. I was very nervous about it as I have not made anything like it before. But I think it has turned out ok.

3 70th Birthday Cards

Here are three cards I have made for my Aunt's 70th Birthday this month. This top one is an 8" x 8" card. The 70 is cut out of glitter card and 'dangled' with some jump rings. The front, below is done with Happy Birthday cut out on the Cricut and prima flowers added and gem brads in the middle.

The one above is a 'Penny Spinner Card' which I thought would be a bit of a novelty for her

This last one is done using the Arty Farty Poppy template and two put together so it opens as a double card. Again the 70 is dangling using jump rings.

Canvas

I had a pack of 3 canvas' and didn't know what to do with them. While at the craft fayre I saw several bits and pieces of fabric, silk tubes and some molded shapes.

I created a 3 canvas picture with them. First I stapled the background fabric to the base and then cut and frayed the next layer then stapled that on top of the base fabric.

I used the silk rolls, various threads and textures to create as sea bed scene and added some small shells I found. I used a bit of liquid pearls to highlight different elements on the base fabric
Below are the 3 different canvas's in close up, the main picture isn't too good
