Another BoHo bag

well hello again...

just another bag from the same pattern I found a while ago..

 

very similar to the first one...

as I still have enough of the faux denim that needs to be used...

and a few jeans pockets that need a home too...

the red satin is from a pillowslip...

just enough to do the lining...

all done and ready for the wash...

have cut the edges to get a raggy effect after washing...

Post Number 600

always back to front with my photos, anyway........started out just playing around re painting an old acrylic on canvas.
 experimenting with stamping into gel medium, stencilling through a piece of  nylon lace curtain to see what kind of texture would show up, it worked quite well.
i cut bits of the curtain & pressed them into the gel medium, when it was dry i added more paint & some crayon & the collage girl, & a bit of turquoise ink drawing.
 more paint & lace & acrylic circles at the bottom pressed into gel medium, let it dry again & painted the circles.
i didn't take photos right from the start as i didn't think it was going any where.
 i put it away for a while at number 1 & then had another look at it & decided to keep going.
i think it is finished now.......number 3. the canvas measures 8" x 10", 20 x 25 cm.
if you click on the photos you will see all the texture created by the gel medium & the lace curtain.
thanks for visiting our blog today, we love to see you .

Pinky denim quilt

leftovers found from the cover of the foam divan mattress...

good bits left after dodgy bits cut out...

added a few more bits to make a single bed size...

then an old doona cover added to the back..

alphabet fairies seemed a good choice...

and colours seem to go together...

 

 also had a bit of a go at bunting...

to help finish the job the day before the event...

I only stitched it together...

the pieces were ready to go...

Gift Wrap

my recycling idea for today: use pattern tissue & instruction paper to wrap presents & tie with string, lace, braid, ric-rac or ribbons.
