I have been making some more souvenirs using bits of fabric which I have altered from the original failures. I like this fabric on the glasses case now, it has had many different colours sprayed and painted on it, finally I stencilled with Jacquard metallic olive green and stitched around the images.
I have upgraded my google loading and I am just learning what to do. I think it will be much easier to use than the previous image loader, but I thought I had lost everything for a few minutes. This image is of a couple of business card holders I have made, following up on a suggestion from one of the other Friends. She commented that women like something other than black leather, I confess I had never thought about it before, we will see if they sell.
I have had some more fun with the stitches on my newer Bernina, embroidering over the silk paper I made from some goodies I received from Dale.We are going away for a week so I shan't be posting again for a little while. This will be a holiday for me, but Bill will be running a sugar technologists conference in Bundaberg. The partners have a special sightseeing pregramme organised for them which always involves a lot of eating very special foods - the diet will need to come to the fore when I return I am sure. It is rude to say you don't like the food your hostess is providing.........isn't it? That will be my excuse anyway.
Talk to you in a week or so, with probably some interesting photos to show. Cheers.
Lovely items. The glasses case is very effective - great use of failures. I like the business card holders, so much more personal. Good to see that you are having fun playing with the Bernina.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to the photos of your trip - enjoy.
Have a good time Robin and tell Bill to watch what he eats or he will end up tubby like me.
ReplyDeleteI love what you have done with your fabrics Robin and all of the new souvenirs are gorgeous. I'd want to buy one of everything! Have a great week away and forget about the diet!!
