Haven't shared (or done) much of my class work while I've been doll making. Didn't seem like a good idea to get all painty lol
So this weekend I have decided to get stuck in, and have combined 2 classes for this project(as yet unfinished)
One of the classes involved creating a hanging lantern from corrugated card, but I had this old lamp shade waiting for a revamp...
Lesson 43 with Heather Santos was about making your own stamps...so I made these from make-up sponges and cardboard...
and used them to decorate the lamp shade.(yes I used shiny gold and silver paint)
For lesson 45 with Mystele I needed a piece of quilted fabric. I didn't have any, but I do have a felting machine and a bag of scraps from my doll making....
I made my own fabric and randomly over-stitched to add texture.
The point of the class was to make a fabric figure to "fly" around the night sky...I still have to poke holes and add dangly bits. Should be quite cool when finished :D
Enjoy :D XXX
Beautiful, Gina! I love the figure you created. The class sounds like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteOh it's fantastic Gina!
ReplyDelete"poke holes and add dangly bits" that sounds like a story waiting to happen.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great project.
ReplyDeleteSeriously fabulous!!!
ReplyDelete"I still have to poke holes and add dangly bits." This made me laugh out loud! ;D
Wow! What gorgeous, creative crafts! Very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteEverything is so gorgeous! Love it when we can use what we have already. LOVE the doll. xoDonna
ReplyDeleteWay, way cool ;o)
ReplyDeleteWow to both the lamp shade (Stamps from make up sponges? Genius!) and the magical flying figure. I love her face, and I love, love the stitched texture on your hand-made fabric. Really lovely!
