Ribbon

 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.

      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 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.

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.

Town

 Town

     I finally gotten around to putting together the steal Chinese town.  This is a #@!!%# thing to put together.  The instruction was written in the wrong order.  They had me putting the outside together, then the inside parts.  Grrrrr.  Almost broke pieces and not all of the tabs where turned.  Very difficult.
