Ready

 Ready

     Getting a few things ready for the county fair.  

I didn't like the plain, black frame.  Added a little mother-of-pearl to the frame to make the picture "pop."

Ribbon

     During one of the Christmas tatting exchanges, someone gave me a ribbon card kit.  I finally finished it.  As many of times I damped the fabric and ironed it, I could not get the creases out of the fabric.

Organizing

      I was organizing my studio and came across a tub with unfinished projects.  I'm slowly working through the projects.   Here is a crocheted doily, I finally finished.

     I winged a flower motif.

      I decided to try a variegated thread for another motif.  I tried my hand at designing a few motifs.

Workshop

 Workshop

      While teaching at the Shuttlebird workshop,  Karen was selling teneriffe kits.  This stroked my interest and I researched it.  I found a site with plans for pin holes for a jig.  I used various types of plastic containers to make a few jigs and gave it a try.  This is the basic, starter motif.  This technique is combination of knots and weaving.

Xstitch

       While reorganizing my studio, I came across a tub full of half finished projects.  Time to start finishing them.

     This pattern is from Wanda.  I like the way it turned out.

 

Beaded

 Beaded

     I had a lot of glow beads left over from one of the classes I taught at the Shuttlebird workshop.  I came across a picture of a beaded purse.  Thought it was interesting and decided to make up a pattern to make one.  I started it back in January and what I thought would be fun to make.  This was a dreaded, boring task.  I finally forced myself to finish this thing so I could have my workbench back.  I like the finished purse.  The string is fishing line so it can go to the beach and get wet.  The best thing, besides being finished, that it GLOWS.
