Last week I showed you a snippet of what I'd been up to, and this week might be just as cryptic. Last week's project got finished and posted off to Craftseller magazine and these pictures show you a bit more.
You don't get a proper look until the magazine is out though - sorry. I loved the depth and texture in this project - a very tactile finished piece. My very favourite type of work, it involved paint, paper, text, glue, fabric and stitching (and an old dictionary!).
Now I'm working on another clock (this time for Sewing World magazine) in the shape of a cotton reel (all in fabric this time, although my glue gun will probably make an appearance at some point).
I'm also working on something - made in fabric - to organise my sewing projects. I'll share more once I've made a bit of progress (I think it may turn into a tutorial).
It's your turn now... I'd love to see what you've been up to this week.
Funny I was adding clocks with chef's on to my collection perhaps it is the year of the clocks. Your snippet looks interesting
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the cotton reel clock. That should be an interesting make. I'm looking forward to getting my Craftseller subscription to see your finished project. Have a lovely week Wendy, and thank you for continuing to host Handmade Monday.
