Lace Dress form Card

,
Wednesday the 4th was Card Making @The Gallery
with Kim.
We were all feeling a little groggy to get started back
to class but look at what I created!
Kim showed us lots of ways of folding cards,
using different sizes.
Kim also brought in lots of inspirational papers,
I chose the lace ones!
It was good to be card making again,
Thank you Kim!
See more of my cards on my card blog

Alpaca Waistcoat


There are so many different types of medias being undertaken
@The Gallery it's wonderful.
Nikki is coming along to use the fabric she has had spun
from her Alpaca Herd. The fabric is lovely to touch and to work with.
She is making a waistcoat, very suit like in it's construction
and look. After a few funnies the other week,
we got out the sewing dummy and are fitting it!
