(birth) day 14

Man's birthday !

(though we will be having the party next week)

So the day was quiet enough

to do some shopping in R'dam,

and knitting (St'nB) ,

and some stitching on textile beads on the boat.

In the afternoon time to stitch
on one of my wet felted circles.

The PINK RIBBON Textile Jewel for day 14

A turquoise and sea green felted circle brooch,

a spiral stitched in silk,

some seed beads

and sequins to add some sparkle.

(5,5 cm diameter)

A simple blue brooch

calming like a quiet sea.

For

€ 10

this jewel can be yours.

It would also make a lovely present !

For today's jewel

I took some of the prepared

fabric-sandwich that I made with the machine.

To make it more sturdy

I took an "old" bag (that never really

became a bag, because I didn't like the shape of it)

and cut out a piece for the back of this pendant :

lovely thick felt !

machine stitched front and wet felted back,

I made a little felt

with a conical shape in turquoise blues and green.

(a hollow form that I cut at the end)

Then I stitched one side together

before drying

(that was some days ago)

Today I gathered lots of different seed beads

in the same colours and started stitching.

Horn shaped felted brooch

with a curly tail

and filled with lots of different beads and sequins

(7,5 x 5,5 cm)

This little sea green "horn of plenty"

is a reminder of the sea

(  which is also filled with plenty, if we manage

to keep (make) it clean (again) )
