My inspiration today come from this lady http://robruhn.blogspot.com/ as i just love her work, love the colors and textures, Thankyou Ro. What i would like to make is a felt and embellished photo album cover for my Daughter In Laws mum. Were both about to be first time Nana's ( so exciting) in around 11 weeks. Jill ( the other nana) is a gorgeous woman and i do know she likes what i make so i'm sure however it turns out she'll treasure it. When My son married her Daughter i gave her my favorite piece ( actually she nagged and nagged to buy it) lol as a token of our joining families, Its sits in pride of place in her home and she loves it . This was the piece i gave her.
Now i really want to make an album cover dedicated to her (our) first grandchild, with embroidery and beads, color and texture , something simple but elegant and my problem is i dont know if i can do elegant lol I've been thinking about it for ages and instead of getting stuck in i've just procrastinated to no end, i get nervous and that frustrates the heck out of me lol
So anyway thanks to Ro i'm going to tackle it and i'll let you know how i go
Something else that made me excited this morning was one of my Etsy pieces made a treasury list, I'm not really sure what that is lol but i liked it anyway so thankyou for that to, its spurring me on
Ok Happy Felting Everyone !!
Karen - that piece is beautiful and I don't think I've seen it before. Don't get nervous, just plunge in and get started. I'm sure that you can do something that she will love. Congrats for getting on a treasury list, maybe it will sell the piece for you :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE that piece Karen! Whatever you make will be lovely - it always is :)
