I can't claim to have any real talent, but what i lack in that department. I make up for in raw enthusiasm. I seem to have quite a few projects in my head too, that are aching to be tried out. For instance, i want to make a sisal lampshade for above my dining table. (That is next on my project list!)
I also want to make some fabric roses to embellish some clothes. Wheat bags...i want to make them for Christmas gifts. Oooo, Christmas... Christmas ornaments, i have some in mind i need to make! i saw some salt dough gift tags, they look great.
As you can see, i have enough 'wants' to keep me busy for some time. Heres some of the projects ive got through.
I made this out of two pieces of fabric i found in our local sally's store for $4. i took off the existing curtain and pilfered the tapes off the top to hang it with and then i sewed it togethher and fashioned it into a curtain. It took me a couple of hours, but i was really pleased with the result.
Heres my owl canvas. I have a real obsession for owls at the moment. But not the actual birds. Im really liking the cartoon version, especially in a zany or vintage print. At some stage i want to make a sewn toy of one, And ive just made a polymer clay one. I just think they are delightful.
Here he is, and hes come out exactly as i had planned. Boy i love him! I keep sneaking a peek at him. Im going to get a long piece of leather and wear him as a necklace. Working with polymer clay was one of my New Year Goals. Im pleased to say ive made a start! I definately want to make some card toppers with the stuff. I made a pink one too for Caitlin. He wasn't as good. The pink clay i bought was hard to work with, it may have been old stock? the other colours however, were really easy to mold and shape.
I have a plaster of paris volcano on the go at the moment, i need to get the right shape, which is proving difficult. Then will add baking soda and vinegar to show Coby.
