Shabby-Chic Crazy Panel.Bird n Bunny

A new project and Ive taken lots of photos so you can see

the way I put a panel together.

This old tray cloth, in linen, has been in my stash for awhile now

and has discolouration in places.

Normally I would cut the embroidered bits off, but because of the way the embroidery is placed, I thought it would be perfect to use as a background.

Sooo away we go.

This little bunny isn't hand done, but is sooooo cute I had to keep him :)

So as you can see. Lots of layers with different textures. The roses from the original tray cloth are still showing.And the little birdie flits by to say hello :)..

Happy shabby-chic-ing

Shabby Chic Collage for Spring.

Ta Da !!!!

Every Shabby Chic-er needs a Spring Bonnet or two.

This hat already had the purple ribbon on it so, since I love purple I left it there.

Oh I love spring.

Happy stitching

Fibre Art Journal. "Aerial"

From a distance this gave me the impression of an aerial view of the countryside.hence the name :)

And this is the back which I have left uncovered to add even more texture to the inside of the journal.

For the pages, I have,

Basic black card

2 sheets of handmade papers

and a double sided print using 2 of my own photos of

some rust cloth and an amazing grid with shadows, taken on one of our walks thru the old railway sidings.

Then one of my stitched pages was added for even more textural interest.







Bound with a red n white twine and closed with a delicious wooden button from the collection. :)





All stitched in layers of calico, silk remnants, hessian,

coconut fibre all held in place by a layer of tulle, scattered with wool and a gold evening fabric. ( Gotta have some bling ;) ).

This sat beside my chair and was randomly stitched with thread ends from other projects. Just a continuous build up of textures.

Finally a small scattering of beads, that awesome button, textural papers and "Aerial" has arrived.

As in the final photo, it sits across the room from my lounge chair

so I can enjoy it while I decide what to do with it.

I hope you enjoyed the eye candy and maybe it will inspire you in some way.

Regards

Stitching more eye-candy
