Well February is almost over and here we are with another challenge at Out of a Hat Creations. This week the theme is hanging about so this could mean something different to all of us.
I chose to make a hanging from a piece of material I had 'hanging' around for a long time.
It was a very sunny day when I took picture this so one side looks a bit faded but it isn't in real life.
I did blanket stitch and cross stitch in brown wool and the bit at the top is the metal that you find at the top of very cheap calendars. It is ideal to use for hangings and even better, I could thread it through the material on this one.
The flowers are in Kanzashi style. There are lots of different tutorials for these on the net but all are a bit different so I have tried to do my own Variation.
To finish it off I added buttons and some wooden leaves.--oh and crumpled ribbon-not sure about that though :(
Love Chrissie xx
I am also entering this into the very first challenge at Rhedd and Rosie where the theme is anything goes.
Lovely work, used to do a lot of embroidery when I was able to see where to put the needle! Great challenge, too, I am looking forward to doing this one! Hugs, Valerie
