Last lot

Previous post has a double up but never mind.

....more

Some other stuff.

Have finished working on True Colours Challenge.....10 A4 pages plus a cover.

Finishing

It's turning out to be a 5 week challenge but that is ok. My aim is to finish it this weekend!

Mmmmmmmmmmmm

We are rubbish at sticking to a deadline....isn't that cool? I am part way through embellishing and I have sort of figured out how I will form it into something 3D. That would involve having to add something to make it stand up...just on one side....so I'm thinking a rather elaborate fabric rolled bead as long as one side. Think it will work!

Embellishing

Running late on this stage. I jammed a needle into the end of my thumb and thought nothing of it just a bit of ouch. But everytime I think I will stitch, it starts to bleed. Okay, I put on a bandaid which means that holding a needle isn't all that much fun. Oh well, I thought I'd just machine embellish then I remembered oops 3 postcards must be in the mail by Monday! It is a Whisper challenge and the card I received is so 'blah' (a pink flower) I can't think of what to do so I just prevaricated! Now, I really have to do it!
You came to the rescue though as you sent me a piece covered in big pink flowers....I fme'd around the flowers and now have cut out paper dolls to go across the card.... not very inspiring but when the original isn't inspiring it is hard to get creative.
Be back to our challenge as soon as I finish them today.

Part Three and Reconstruction

Chopped it up last night and couldn't see anyway to reconstruct it. Left it until this morning and had a play around and voila, it came to me. I used a sort of wide herringbone to put it together. Can sort of see where I am going next but that will have to wait as I've still got the ATCs to make (did the postcard last night)








Have you seen the online classes that CPS and QA are offering. One or two sound interesting. Perhaps that would be a way of challenging ourselves????
