on Monday just gone I went to play at a friend's house, Me,Gail (efemera-uks) and Jean (nejxr25-uks)started making some hanging mobiles,following Jean's idea with our own touches thrown in. We glued and sticked till about 6pm at which point we started eating and drinking and no more sticking got done.
After I recovered the next day I did some more work on it, and on weds, and on thurs and just finished it today-friday...seemed to be taking FOREVER!
Anyway here it is, basically one of the rings from an embroidery hoop with clear nylon threads hanging off it...and all decorated. Chipboard shapes threaded on the nylon, me and Gail chose heart shapes and Jean did all different shapes.
I used K&Co papers, approx 12 sheets (12x12), though didn't use all of every sheet, but did cut into all the sheets. After buying some new Basic grey birdie stamps, i decided to use birdies and flowers to decorate my hearts. Some birdies are stamped, some hand cut from chipboard and covered and some are bought wooden ones.
Add beads,bling,ribbons and lace...
The pics show it hanging off the curtain pole, as it was the best plain wall to take the photos against, it will eventually hang from the ceiling at the top of the stairs,in front of a small window.
