Do you Love to Create in Shades of Blues and Turquoise?

We all have our favorite colors that we love

to create with and coming from

a background of crazy quilting I have tried

many different combinations

and

you know there is just no end to how you can combine different

colors, shades, textures and embellishments.

Here is one combination I have put together from my stash

to spark a little inspiration

in blues, turquoise, greens and shades of blue/grey.

 

 

 I really do enjoy making up kits for people to create with

and these images above I have used,

along with a number of

complementary laces, doilies and embellishments

to gather into some new kits.

 

 

 

 Fabrics include brocades, cottons, dupion and dyed silks,

 

 

some beautiful lace fabrics, rich vintage velvet ribbons

 

 gold embellished and beaded ribbon

and some two toned bullion fringing which would look

rather neat in a collage or a boho bag.

The choice is yours as they are available now in my 

Etsy shop.

Clicking on this link will take you there.

I've also been working on a new Journal

 

and creating with some gorgeous antique laces

 

both of which I will be sharing with you very soon! 

Wishing you much joy in your days of creating!

Just a few pieces of work I have recently created as
gifts to some special people
like this one which 
I sent to Karen Valentine at
www.mydesertcottage.blogspot.com
for her wonderful assistance in my recent blog makeover
in readiness for the 
"Where Bloggers Create party"
(see my studio a couple of posts earlier!)

and this tag to accompany a Birthday Gift

Can you believe I recycled a tea box to create this?
I just so enjoy making these collages!

It is just the perfect size as far as I'm concerned

and this shows the back of the tag even with the
used teabag - so there's an idea!!!

And now I have this on my table which is almost finished
and which I will show soon!

I'm really sorry that I could not have a gift for everyone
but here is my personal heart gift to you all
instead

I'm sending you a message which carries heartfelt love,
appreciation, joy and balance to fill your 
hours and days!
