Fabric and Lace ACEO

I've had some Buckinghamshire  hand-made pillow lace for ages
but felt guilty about cutting it up

but finally decided to use this beautiful vintage lace
and I even aged it!!

So here it is (stitched under the crochet piece)

Walnut Crystals

I've tried this and it works really well

Mix some walnut crystals into half a pint of warm water
(decide how much according to the colour you like)

Add half teaspoon gum arabic powder
and half teaspoon of Pearlex (antique gold gives aged look)

put all into fine spray bottle

you can use this on paper and/or fabric

Have fun!

Vintage Inspired Fabric Art

My sewing machine has had an MOT
my goodness how expensive that was
but now sewing has become a pleasure again

A Humourous Look at Capitalism and Cows

AMERICAN CAPITALISM:
You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead.

FRENCH CAPITALISM: 
You have two cows. You go on strike, organize a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.

A GERMAN CAPITALISM: 
You have 2 cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month and milk themselves.

A JAPANESE CAPITALISM: 
You have 2 cows. You redesign them so they are 1/10 the size of an ordinary cow, and produce the milk of 20 cows. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called cowkimon and market them worldwide.

ITALIAN CAPITALISM: 
You have two cows, but you don’t know where they are. You decide to have lunch.

Blog Hopping

I have loads of blogs that I visit frequently
and have not added to my own blog
because I thought it would take forever
BUT
I've just discovered that it's really easy
using 'add a gadget' and my Google subscriptions
and all my links are now
in place

So pleased!
