Hippy Thread


Beads, buttons and hippy thread...



 ...Shells, drift wood collected from the beach; a bit of my mothers old sari ribbons...



...all on my crafty desk to thread something quick and fun and maybe a bit hippy.



I threaded them all together and...




 ...there it was! A little fun craft hanging on the window. Not so easy to photograph, so thought of placing it next to my bag, which I made last year at Hope and Elvis workshop.



I have my two little brooches bought from lovely Viv of Hens Teeth, if you notice.


And the red one I made; an obvious influence from Hens teeth makes. I used vintage quilt scrap, old linen, lace and Suffolk puff made from my mother's sari.



Now my wall looks complete!

  2. Hello Jan, totally agree with you. We did have a fantastic day yesterday. I made the red brooch at home but did a needle case workshop with Hens teeth.
