day 20

Ohhhh my
in the twenties already :
you have to be quick to snap up a beauty
because time is running out soon !

I'm always greatly astonished
how much time stitching such small things take :
nearly a whole day.
(I started yesterday !)
Just trying to be "invisible" on the inside
of the lid of this small "luck box"
is time-consuming !

a felt "luck box" stitched with silk, rayon and cotton,
seed beads and a tree charm on the closing cord
(5 cm,  2")

" LUCKY"

See you tomorrow !!!

a box and "un-perfect 10"

In some shop I found these fun boxes :
bare wood and two sides perspex
but WHAT to showcase in it ?

And then I fitted one of my finger puppets
from earlier this year in it !
Hmmmm . . . . . a bit dull.

Then, something daughter said,
gave me this fun idea.

*

This Wednesday it was again zoom-time with the
UN - PERFECT 10 GRAMS group.

We had to keep in mind the following prompts
unity
wearable
3D, using a resist

Well, with only 10 grams it is not so easy
to make something wearable if you don't want to make jewelry !

But an old piece that I weighed gave me the right idea !

(though I had to use 2 x 10 because I have two hands !!!)

It was, like before, a fun meeting with the seven
ladies of the group that were able to attend
and to see and hear about the work they all made !

THANKS  LADIES !

day 25

Today I had a piece of sea blue felt
that I cut out for a luck box.
It made me think of the sea
and that reminded me of the song of Sweet Molly Malone
(and yes, that stuck to my mind all day long)

Working most of the time with only one strand of cotton
making the tiniest French knots :
shells, sea stars, seaweed . . . a true miniature bit of tide line.
(Pictures are taken with lamplight : late on a rainy day !)

My  PINK  RIBBON  Textile Jewel
for day 25 :

a little felt box, stitched with silk, cotton, some bits of mesh,
a few sequins and seed beads, it closes with a homemade cord
which has a charm of mother-of-pearl.
(5 cm,  2")

day 19

Sometimes
I'm really flabbergasted when I realize
how many hours it takes me to stitch and finish
