Easter Makes

This Easter......
 My Granddaughter and I made some new eggs for my collection of keepsakes, bless her she did an amazing job helping me with the bonnets.

This egg is covered in tiny nail art beads and acrylic gems

 

This one has seed beads

This is a large egg, covered in hand made papers and the fir cones are on organza, I simply cut around these and completely covered the egg in modge podge.

This little egg is covered in flower soft

Again this large egg is covered in hand made paper and organza feather material cut outs and a matt modge podge popped over the whole egg.

This little egg has the same papers and little stones added, then covered in PVA glue.

Our bonnets we made together, my little angel is 4 years old, I think she did an amazing job :O)

New Craft - Rag Rugging

Wow........ I have been and learnt a new craft !

This weekend I had the greatest time, I went along with my Sister and her friend to a class on traditional Rag Rugging.
Not only was the class full of fun and chatter, Hazel the lovely lady tutoring us was such a talented person.
She makes the most beautiful Rag Rugs, on board her canal barge. They are stunning.
We had three hours, well just over actually. where Hazel taught us from the first steps right through to planning, preparing and starting our own rugs.
Its amazing to sit and craft the same way that people were crafting out of necessity hundreds of years ago.
Such a  beautiful and practical craft.
I have started my rag rug in the design of a moon gazing hair and cant wait to start again today.
Its a great craft and for me especially as I need a craft where I can sit with my leg up as I have a problem with my circulation in one leg. This will allow me to craft in those frustrating times when I'm forced to spend time on the chair resting my leg.
Totally love this new craft and as soon as I have finished my first project I will pop a picture .

Happy Crafting all .................... :O)
