What a great idea - for all those lovely pillowcases my Mom's been saving - "too pretty to sleep on"! I'd love to win!
These look great! I'm going to do a "Playing with Paper" workshop at an upcoming singles conference, and I'm definitely going to add these as part of the things to try. The perfect pendant for a paper bead necklace! I'm also going to include making a tiny paper collage pin and tea bag folding. Paper is such fun to play with and the price is definitely right!
The Aliens next door really took to American cuisine...they loved apple pie so much they included it in their Christmas photo.
How about a tree of life, like in the old crewel embroidery? With a variety of interesting leaves, and animals gathered under the branches, birds and bugs and butterflies hiding in the leaves? I think whatever you do needs some wonderful surprises tucked away to "discover" - it makes any project so much more appealing.
I love your work - what a talent God has given you!
Oh, I relate! I do not scrapbook or make cards, though I do keep a journal. I tried to limit myself to fabric crafts once, but lately I've been going crazy over teabag folding - I have all these darling little paper sculptures and I don't know what to do with them! I'm thinking maybe they'd be nice to embellish a journal cover...but they've multiplied faster than journals! Of course, I'm still sewing...dolls, clothes, a brief dabble in quilting for a gift...and lately, embroidery is calling my name again!
When I saw this picture, I knew I had to try making one -they're just so cute. I was looking for a little gift to give to a few friends at a ladies conference we're attending soon and this seemed like a good idea....so, I made one...and another...and another...I'm addicted. My only problem is finding enough bottle caps because we no longer have a soda machine at the office dispensing bottles. I've made at least 7 or 8 and keep thinking up different color combinations! I have some gold metallic thread and want to try that crown... Thanks so much for sharing!
