First up is this pair of cluster/dangle earrings. I'm a little obsessed with these cluster-type earrings. It allows me to play with different beads that compliment each other, and they're just so cute! I used a collection of glass beads, each with a slightly different color, shimmer, or size, all hanging from a silver chain.
I named this pair Brenna, which comes from my Welsh heritage and love of Welsh names. I find the names so lyrical, therefore decided to keep the Welsh theme for all my jewelry pieces.
Then I made these quilted coasters using fabric scraps. I'm not usually into floral prints, but this particular print is so bold - with the pops of bright red for contrast - that I fell in love with it the minute I saw it. The only thing I'm sad about is not having much more of the fabric at hand seeing as it was a remnant to begin with. The coasters are a simple but effective design and there is something very therapeutic about creating the quilted design for each.
Not sure what I'm itching to make next but it's like a food craving and changes from day to day! Are you multi-craftal (yes, I'm making up words)? How do you find time for each of your crafts?
I too am multi-craftual (and that's not a made up word, my friends and I have used it many a time to describe ourselves!), I knit, sew, scrapbook, make jewelry, crochet, and pretty much make anything I feel like. It helps that I majored in Fine Art in college, so I am familiar with using lots of different media. For me it is hardest to find something to work on in between taking care of my kids, part of the reason I took up knitting is it's really easy to put down as needed. Happy crafting!
ReplyDeleteMulti-craftual, I like it. It's a double edged sword for sure. Love your recent creations!
