Artists Sketchbooks

Its not that I haven't been doing any textiles, just got out of routine so not blogged and surprised to see that we are now in July.

Still I have been busy. The photos are of Artists Sketchbooks that I have covered with some fabric that I printed. They are landscape, A5 size and are currently for sale here. http://www.thehousegallery.co.uk/

The pencil/ make up bags are also for sale at the same place. There are some lovely pieces of art and all beautifully presented.

One of my other tasks this week is to get my Etsy site up and running, and now I have written it down it will be done!!

snap purses, prototype

This is a zip bag that I finished yesterday, in real life the colours are brigher. There is a book I found whilst cleaning about digital photography. I will have a look and see what tips and hints there are.

I ordered some snap fasteners yesterday and they arrived by post today. Amazing service, so I have been having a go at making a purse/ ipod holder. There are changes I will make to the next one, reduce the padding on the main fabric and maybe not to use interfacing on the lining.

If I make the bag slightly longer it will be big enough to put a camera in. I also thought it would be useful to have a hanging loop on the side.

Tomorrow I have the house to myself so will finish the printing that I prepared last week. Having a go at lovely yellow!

new venture

I am currently in the beginning stages of setting up my blog page, so please bear with me whilst I get to grips with all the bits and pieces that are involved.
Whilst that is happening I will put some pictures up of work that I am currently doing. Making pencil cases, make up bags from fabric that I have printed.
