Dragons Dream Challenge #147 Waste, Chipboard and Male

This time over at Dragons Dream TIO Silvia has chosen the theme of Waste/Rubbish, Chipboard and Male, a fab combination!

I'd bought myself a couple of new tops and the green sparkly one had a rather nice chipboard tag attached to it, just perfect for this challenge two out of three requirements!

 I played about with a mixture of paints, distress stains and gilding wax till I got an aged look and added my new Charlie Chaplin stamp, he always makes me think of my Grandpa as I would sit and watch the old films with him when I was little, and Charlie was his favourite!

The base tag is a box that the car spares arrived in and the rusty metal bits and bobs were found amongst the rocks on the beach a few weeks ago, makes a change from shells!

Dragons Dream TIO #146 Stencil/Mask, Paint and Ribbon

Phew this is a very late posting from me as it should have been here on Wednesday, but I made it in the end! Our challenge this fortnight over at Dragons Dream TIO has been chosen by Helen, who would like to see stencils/masks, paint and ribbon used on our tags, along with at least one real stamp as always.
I painted a chipboard tag with mermaid fresco paint and when dried stencilled black soot distress ink through a crafters workshop stencil.  I stamped over the top with the indigoblu anenome stamp in archival ink, then stamped the flowers again on to some blue scrap paper, and decoupaged them over the top adding some green gems for the centres.
The butterflies were a free download I found on pinterest and the small love stamp is by PSX.

Felting at WI House Denbigh

 These are just a few of the corsages the Ladies made at the Denbigh class today

 None of them had ever done any felting before, either wet or needle.
All of them created beautiful flowers.

 And they were all so different, all ten of them!

We had such a fun day and they were a great crowd, the second flower down is about 10" across and going on a hat, the rest of them have brooch backs and will be worn as corsages, so I'll see who I can spot at the county shows!!

Something for me!!

I wasn't going to share this just yet as I've not decided if I'm going to embroider onto it or not. It's a cover for my Nexus, but I didn't want a leather one like everyone else, so whilst surrounded with all this woolly stuff thought I'd make my own using my G&T cutting  board (for the limes) as the resist to felt around lol. Am very happy how it turned out, and I think I'll be making some more of these for the craft fairs in Llandudno.

Blooming good fun!

 Thought I'd share one of the hand felted flowers my Ladies will be learning to make on Tuesday at Denbigh.  I ended up with this style of flower quite by accident and I love it, even think it may be my favourite shape so far!

 Spent most of yesterday with this giant wool ball weighing it out, counting crystal beads, then making up the kits, with a mix of pink, purple and grey merino wool tops.

It took a huge pot of tea to get rid of the intake of fibres lol, hope to get a couple more flowers made up in the morning, then Tuesday is playtime!!!!!!

Honey!!

 Well yesterday it was Honeysuckle and today it's shades of Honey! Have been topping up my stash for the morning. Going to try some packaging when all the silver boxes run out, am thinking about Kraftcard boxes and tags for the earrings, what do you think?

Honeysuckle Frame

 I've had a break from making up the woolly kits for class, and at last have gotten round to finishing off my frame, in my very cool workroom, bliss!
I love this Honeysuckle stencil from Imagination Crafts, and have used it probably the most out of all the stencils I have, and that's quite a lot, lol.
The photo doesn't do the frame justice as it appears to be curved, and it's not in real life, it's completely flat.

So there you have it the full set complete, and ready for being priced up for the stall on Friday. Think they will look gorgeous in-between my jewellery.
