Handmade Beads Curtain

Hello Readers!!
Today I am sharing my mum's latest creation "Beads Curtain". She chose some cool combination of glass beads and pipes to make this curtain. Its used as fancy decor to divide the open living area in dining and living zones.
Sorry for the poor photography, but these were taken after the project was finished so we couldnot prop it in any fancy way.

Crochet Mobile Cover


Hello Readers!!

My mum recently crocheted this cute little mobile cover from some spare wool. I liked the bead combination she has used for the flap opening. She created it on her own without any pattern to follow, but she depends on her memory a lot...so no written pattern for the blog :(

Happy Crafting!!

Baby Girl Frock Parchment Pattern

Hello Readers !
 
Today I am sharing one of my old parchment project. I was newly introduced to parchment world and did this project without any guidance.
 
I I gifted it to my aunt who had her first baby in Jan 2004. She loved and till date it is proudly displayed at her place her in Pune, India.
 
 
Recently I asked aunt to click some photos for my blog. I really appreciate her efforts in sending me these pics (though she's not a computer literate)

 

Materials Used:
  • Plain white vellum paper
  • Dorso Colours
  • Dorso Oil
  • one point needle
  • Embossing Pen (small and medium size)
  • Card Stock for framing



I enlarged one of Martha Ospina's Baby frock pattern and inked it on Vellum paper. I did not have a diamond shape needle tool , so I used one point needle for the net effect in between. (I did not like the outcome, but was too late). I tried adding dorso effect to the frock, but think its bit overdone at some patches.

I Used dark green colour card stock for background and framed it between two glass sheets which added the grace to the final product.



What are the latest projects you are working on?


Happy Crafting!!
