Crayon Tinting and Embroidery

[ladibug21.livejournal.com]

I just finished my first attempt at crayon tinting with embroidery. I've been doing embroidery for a long time but just found out about crayon tinting. I really like it. Obviously I'm going to need to practice with it a little bit but it's a great way to add color. I used this tutorial, it's pretty easy: http://www.urbanthreads.com/pages?id=448

Lunar Necklace

Something I was working on in my silversmith class for a long time, finally finished it after deciding on the mechanics of how it would be threaded and how it would sit.

It is made from silver wire, sheet and tube and there is also some brass tubing to give it colour and more depth...

Uses for leftover holiday ribbons?

[scdsam.livejournal.com]

As the presents pile up, I'm noticing a lot of really gorgeous holiday ribbons (the lovely fabric and fabric/wire kind) tied around the packages.

Anybody have any ideas as how to reuse these (other than wrapping for next year)? They're probably no longer than 1-2 ft each, varying widths, and none really matching except that they're holiday-ish in theme.

Asking in advance because I probably won't keep them if I can't think of a way to use them again. THANKS!

Baby's Blocks

I started these last night and finished them today. They took less than 2 hours from start to finish. Very easy. I was inspired by http://www.make-your-own-baby-stuff.com/baby-blocks.html, but honestly did my own thing. They are 6 x 6.



Here are photos from nearly each step, if you are interested:( Read more... )
