Vintage Inspiration Lace and Fabric Kits

With Christmas coming up very fast

I was thinking perhaps these 

Vintage Inspiration Kits of Lace

and French script fabrics

along with these beautiful images

 

 may inspire a little creativity within you!

These images are from my own collection and they come

with the bones of a little book 5.5 x 4 inches with batting

and some scripted French cotton fabrics

and a lovely selection of

vintage laces, doilies, netted flower fabric,

beaded appliques, pearl buttons

and other little bits and pieces. 

 

 There are so many different projects these can

be used for and they are only limited

by your imagination!

This is another similar kit but with antique

children images

and a lovely selection of more laces and French script 

fabrics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

These Inspiration Kits are definitely just the thing

for all of you who love these old images and laces

and

are now available in my Etsy shop

so

pop over and take a look there

as this one has already flown out the shop!

  

Thanks so much for looking here today dear friends!

Have a wonderful weekend!

An Eco-dyed paper and Textile Concertina - SNT No. 49

 Dear Blog friends 

here is my latest little concertina book

"Tattered whispers on the breeze"

made from handmade paper

 

 and inspired by the beautiful artwork of

Lynne Moncrieff of Lynnesbowsandbells blog

 

 

 It was so much fun to create

using papers from my eco-dyed little stash of silks and water colour papers

along with many other vintage page papers, tea bag papers, envelopes, vintage music, tags and other ephemera.

 

but what was new this time was the use of

some of Lynne's wild flower stamps

 

 

 

 

 and her nature themed Affirmation Stamps

 

which I so love to be inspired with!

 

 

 

 

 

 I also incorporated the use of 

scraps of vintage lace

which I dyed with tea, rust and some copper pipe!

All of these papers were put in together

in the dye bath!

 

 The book itself is only 4 x 6 inches

and what you see below is this

little bag, made from

vintage linen dyed in the same bath

to hold this sweet little treasure

of inspiring pages and affirmations!
