My aim with this first project was to create a collage on a scrap of brown paper bag that I embellished with bits and pieces of scrap found on my desk, plus some trims from my stash. It became a sweet little envelope that now closes with a magnet, and holds a plain, cream-colored card. Amazing how one can turn trash into treasure!
This second piece is a fun little item inspired by Natasa of Treasure Books. It’s simply a scrap of blue and white upholstery fabric that I rolled up on the long edge, stitched in place, then embellished with a lace trim and a strand of faux pearls. It could be used to enhance a pencil, as in the first image. However, I decided to turn it into a tassel by adding beads on very thin wire that I inserted into the tube, plus the white ribbon and lace to dangle.
Finally, I dyed some white eyelash yarn with beet juice left from cooking, along with a little plastic ring that I’d previously wound with white wool yarn. The colors are just gorgeous, even better in person than in the photo! EnJoy!
