The Introverted Crafter

Made a bracelet this week, trying to use pearls and chains together.  I'm hoping to improve my jewellery making next year, so I've signed up to some classes. Fingers crossed! I've been working on the stitch. Here's the update Still so much of it doesn't create a picture! Especially the bottom right.  Until next time Ems

So, another male card to do, and this time I decided to try and get inspiration from a painting, specifically the son of man painting by rene magritte. For those of you who don't know, it's a painting of a man in a suit and bowler hat with an apple obscuring much of his face. As its a birthday card, I used a present instead of an apple.  I think it would have been better if I'd laid it out with happy above and birthday below.  I've been working on the stitch, almost 45% done now.  Don't ask me why I took a crooked picture! Until next time Ems

I've made another card this week, for someone who is a rower. I've not really got anything that translates directly to that, so instead I went with a sailing theme, using stamps from my stash, lawn fawn oliver abc dies and tim holtz colorize woodgrain.  I've also been working on the stitch.   Still a long way to go before we see anything clearly.  Until next time Ems
