Christmas Makes

Such a long gap between posts!  I am very ashamed.

However, I have been very busy making ready for Christmas and now various items have been delivered to different outlets, I finally have time  for blogging.

Started off with gift tags in three designs:

   

I particularly like the button ones and will be using this idea for my Christmas cards this year.

Felt decorations came next:

   

   

As Mug Rugs/Mats seem popular at the moment I made some of those too.   I also made some special Christmas ones to use when leaving a drink and snack for Santa!

   

   

 

 

The final Christmas make were table mats and runners:

 

   



 

Also made some cushions and covered diaries/notebooks.

 

 

 

 

Most of the items can now be found at Rose Green Art and Craft Gallery or Birdcage Barn Emporium.   Both can be found in or near Chichester and are both worth a visit as they are packed with crafty items.

What am I up to at the moment?

I've been busy recently creating lovely little things to sell at a craft fair I have booked in August.  Sadly that hasn't left me much time for creating my textile art.

However, I am very pleased with the things I have made which include several items using cover buttons using vintage and vintage-style fabrics.   There are buttons, hair clips and bookmarks.

 



There are also some brooches, some made from felt - both needle made and wet made - and some from fabric.

I've also made some heart hangings which incorporate a lightly stuffed heart mounted on a decopatch covered board and include a 'heart' saying such as "Home is where the heart is" and  "A heart that loves is always young".

I also have some textile art that I have previously made so I will also be including them.

 

 

Many of these items can be found on my Folksy shop, Created  by Lynn.   I also have a page on Facebook under the same name.

More for Folksy

I've just added these two creations to my Folksy shop.

They are both needlefelted - the left hand one is made using wool and silk fibres and the right hand one is recylced sari silk. Both have hand stitching and buttons to finish and are mounted on painted canvases.

Folksy shop is open!

Taken a big step and have opened a 'shop' on Folksy. I've started by listing some postcards and cards that I had in my stock and will see how things go. Stop by and have a look - www.folksy.com/shops/CreatedbyLynn. There are some fantastic things for sell on the website as well as a variety of materials with which to create so it's well worth a look around the whole site.
