Craftweek 2

This week at Seows, we continued with the crafting... things need to step up a fair bit as Art For Grabs is two weeks near... Seows continued with her florette corsarges and I worked on some charm necklaces. Mia came to do some artsy stuff, but just basically drove us nuts with her 4-year old fidgeting...









Charm clusters to be tagged on to beaded necklaces...


Stray silk from Seow's corsarges...



More next week...

Craft Day...

My best friend Seows and I have decided to encourage each other to find time in our busy schedules to craft. So we've declared Saturday - Craft Day...

We're also working towards the upcoming Art for Grabs at the Annexe Gallery, happening May 9th and 10th... And so far we have nothing ready to sell... so... anyway, here's what we worked on today.


Seows worked on these... Thai Silk florette corsages which can be converted into hair ornaments...


I found a little vintage-looking frame so I decided to paint a chick portrait...


I think I'm going to call her Harriet, after Seows' cat... She wears a special hair ornament with peacock feathers, but because i didn't bring my camera to Seows, and had to use my itsy bitsy phone cam, you can't really see the detail. I'm obsessed with peacock, guinea and other fowl feathers in hair ornaments at the moment...



Then Seows' gave me some quilt fabric to line the picture frame with... We couldn't decide which looked quirkier and more special... But I think we're leaning towards the red print... Which one do you like?
