Proddy Rug Brooches WOYWW 338

Back on the table with fabric this week finishing a brooch. Started these yesterday and intend to make a few more for the craft fair at a local Christmas Tree Festival on the 28th. It's a good way of using up tiny pieces of fabric - in this case cottons and scraps of ribbon (the tartan fabric at the back was once my pyjamas). This technique can be used to make a nice wreath - if you have the time. There is a great tutorial on this link here and she does it how I do it but I use a pencil and an embroidery hoop which works fine on small pieces.

Last week I made some paper/fabric for angel wings - here is the result. The bodies are made from lace overlaid onto heavy vilene.

Our tree for the feastival is finished except for the lights which have to be attached to the central broom handle. It is made from scrap wood cut into a spiral with collaged old sheet music, and the ornaments from 'odds and sods' stuck onto polystyrene balls and cubes.

Off for a hospital check-up now so I will check what everyone else has on their desks later. For folk who do wonder what WOYWW is all about click on the link box in the right-hand column. Have a good week.
