Along the lanes I'd love to wend, near Artist's Mews, on Writer's Bend. Where fragrant flowers of every hue sparkle in the morning dew. I wish I lived in Carver's Valley, Quilter's Creek or Cross Stitch Alley. Just think of all the things I'd make, if I lived by Crafters Lake..........

Bollywood bling
Last year I cut the cuffs off a shirt that I never wore. The shirt was far too long so I shortened it and made it into a loose flowing jacket.... the cuffs have been sitting in my stash since then. Last night I took one of my bits of beadwork and sewed it to the cuff in order to make a really pretty blingy cuff bracelet. It is a work in progress but I will add some photo's later on. It is 06.44 and still rather dark. As the cuffs were a little bit large I cut about an inch from one end of the one that I am working on. This means that I will be able to make a tiny little beaded brooch to match the cuff. I haven't decided yet whether to leave it square or cut it into a heart shape. I have some narrow gold braid to add to the cuff and the brooch and they are going to be really blingy when they are finished. Bollywood here I come

ReplyDeleteSounds like a great idea for shirts with sleeves too long too. I love the denim brooches you made on a different post too. I'm visiting from the GYBP.
