Fibres & Threads

Love these swaps - gives me chance to use up my cross stitching squares!!!

So here we have some more squares .....
I managed to find some frames for these cards, well, frames for three of them  - I made the fourth one.


I love this little picture and managed to find a card with matching colours.

I made this frame twice! the second time the star was near perfect!!  I cut out the shape and then fitted it to fit the needlework.  I then spritzed the paper and added a small amount of brushos green & blue powder.  The brushos spread out over the paper which was still wet from the spritzing.  Once the frame was dry, I brushed some yellow mica powder over the sun shape.

This cross stitching came as a kit but although I added the frame I had to shorten the length, the bowl was cut out separately and added back after the frame had dried.

This is a very pretty design to stitch and  I have enjoyed stitching it.  I found a  card which would be suitable to use as a frame but it was miles too big.  

I cut the frame in half and reshaped the opening, not quite perfect but it is handmade!!!

I received these lovelies back:
