I've not done much stitching this week, because my back has gone again. Not as bad as it has been, but I've had to use a cane to walk to and from work, so stitching is on the back burner until I feel better. I've also finished a perfume bottle. Now, you can do a few things with a perfume bottle. You can throw it away, recycle it, or nowadays you can even refill it. Or you can do what I did, turn it into a mixed media piece. I started off by painting it with gesso, then used lindys sprays to colour it and gold paint to highlight the accents. I then painted some resin pieces, adding then to the bottle. Finally I added flowers, leaves, pearls, and a sentiment. Until next time Ems
This week I tried to make a simple card, using some stamps in my stash. I tried to stamp the diamonds evenly but didn't get it quite right! I'm working on my colour coordination, which is improving, but still needs improvement. I've also been working on the stitch, doing the half stitches in the sky. They are slow going and bloody awkward to do! I'm pretty sure I'm gonna run out of at least one colour too. Until next time Ems
