So it is demonstration season again. This card is from my first demonstration this year at The Range Corby yesterday. Had some lovely ladies drop by to watch and say hello. This card uses the papers from the new Papermania range Mytho-Logical. I covered the images I cut out with coloured Vellum to imitate the water. The swan's were cut using one of the new X-cut Dinky Dies. Added gems in different colours for a bit more interest. I am quite pleased how it turned out. Below is a picture of the card with the water pulled away and some more samples from the demonstration. The photo below is a sample of the Make & Take for this round of demonstrations. If you would like to make this card please look at the events page and come to one of my demonstrations over the next few weeks in; Milton Keynes, Harlow, Luton or Bedford.

I have been going to bobbin lace classes for some time now and after doing the basics, was drawn to Bucks point lace. Below are pictures of my latest finished product; Serpentine, from Geraldine Stott's book 'A visual introduction to Bucks point lace'. It took a long time to complete and I always think back to the days before lace was machine made and lots of women used to handmake lace for a living. The time and effort it takes to make lace also explains why only wealthy people had lace and a gift of lace was a precious thing. People would also take lace off of clothing they no longer wore and would attach it to their new clothing, some items like collars were also detachable and could be worn over many clothing items. |
