locker hooking
Trying something new here.
A friend and me followed a little workshop on locker hooking. I have started on my first project to see if I can make something nice with it...
Plarn Bag
Hurrah - my first FO since this blog started! This was my first go at a plarn ("plastic yarn") bag and it took 17 medium/large carrier bags to complete. I cut each carrier bag into strips roughly 2cm wide. I can't believe how much one carrier bag compresses down when you crochet with it!
Trying something new...
... I've not tried this style before, but it seems to be working ok I think! I've got another piece finished, which I'll post pictures of when I've turned it into a notebook. The second piece here, with the wee frog on it, is a little surprise to cheer up a forumite. Pretty random, but hopefully it will make her smile.
finished work
Don't want to hog the blog but here are some finished bits and bobs from last week
!
Earrings
Lady tile.
Owl pendants
Hedgie's toad house
Hedgie's toad house
last weeks projects - unfinished
This is my work from last week - didn't get as much done in the studio as I had hoped as I had to have an exposed gas pipe concreted over!
I had been wheeling my little kiln in and out so much that the concrete floor had crumbled away!
This is a little tile with a windswept woman and below is a tile with the wind on it
These are some owl pendants that I am trying out. I made about 6 in total but the branches kept snapping off when I was finishing them off - must try and be less heavy handed!
The round shapes were supposed to be more buttons but they dried out so quickly didn't have a chance to put the holes in. I am going to use them as mosaic tiles instead!
The little hearts are going to be stud earrings.
There were one or two other small things that I made but they are a secret as one of them may be hedgies deathsweep prize - shhhhhhhh!
This is Hedgies toad house with the raw glaze on it.
When the other things come out of the kiln today - this will be going in with them to be glazed.
Hope the glaze comes out OK as I have spent ages looking for the right colour - sorry it's taken so long Hedgie!
New designs at Simply Stunning Invitations
Hello, this is my first post on this lovely blog...thank you Hedgie, and after three attempts to get the layout of this post right, I think I have finally got there! Phew!
I have created some new designs for Simply Stunning Invitations for 2009 and I thought I would share them with you on here.
The first new range is called Paradise, it is a bright and vibrant range and although essentially a wedding design, I think it would be perfect as a summer party invitation too.
The second is a range of pocketfold invitations and, as yet, does not have a name. Any suggestions are very welcome :)
......and finally, after a really good suggestion from Hezoid on the craftycnuts forum, I have added some handcrafted embellishments for sale on the website, pictures of those to follow soon !
Sweater from hell!
