More Business Card Holders

I used denim and patterned fabric to create these card holders, they're so soft with the recycled demim and my stash of buttons is coming in very handy, I've got so many interesting ones to use.

Fabric Flower Experiments

Thanks for the nudge Nancy, a selection of denim, tulle and fabric flowers - you can expect to see these on my fabric Art Journals as embellishments!

Fabric Art Journal - Monet's Fields

Fabric Art Journal (unfilled) using gorgeous fabric that reminds me on Monet's paintings, could be tulips or poppies blowing in a field, pen slot in lower position, black binding ribbon and fabric covered button.
 This AJ will be available on Etsy very soon!

Book of Days - MDS

Very plain, very simple pages using Happy Mail cards, I've been so busy with designing & making Fabric Art Journals, that Book of Days has taken second place (or maybe even lower than that!) as I'm also doing Arty Alphabets & Words of Me Project alongside Life Book.

Today!

 Today I went into town, walked along the sea front and watched the wind whip the high tide water into spray on the promenade, very bracing.
The water was very muddy from all the churning of the sea, it alternated between sun & showers, I posted 4 parcels, visited 7 charity shops and bought 5 denim skirts/prs trousers to make more embellished fabric art journals, I'll be busy cutting them up this afternoon.

March's ATC's Arrived!

My March's ATC's arrived for the monthly ATC Swap I'm in, I love the diversity!

Artful Alphabets - Week 1, Alpha One

 I enjoyed practicing basic, shrimp & high brow - when you practice with the lines you can see the differences quiteclearly. Some letters never change though, like upper case C, I, J, N, O, Q, T, U, V & X.
 More practice on lined paper this time

Words of Me Project - Week 4

 Envelope tutorial from Andria Kaskey - made this little envelope from a page cut from my Leonardo DaVinci book that I'm using for my Book of Days
A few of my favourite things!
