Making Bookmarks

 At our most recent meeting, Adrienne led us in making bookmarks. Sadly, we were short of members at the meeting due to a combination of factors, but those of us who attended had fun. Adrienne provided images for colouring, stamps, stencils, ribbon and inks.

Show and Tell

For our most recent meeting, we were unfortunately unable to work on the project we'd planned, so we decided to have a 'free' session (also known as 'bring your own project') and to have a 'show and tell' of things we've made in the past, including projects that wouldn't really be suitable for the group.

Adrienne brought a few different makes:

Origami Flowers and Dress

Stationery Folder

Beryl brought some of her knitting using a single piece pattern

Puffin

Mary brought a project she worked on during lock down

Sunny Days

Tricia brought some examples of Hardanger Embroidery she has completed over many years:

Some Coasters

Some Table Mats

Nadi's Paper Flowers

 Nadi spent some time recently making flowers out of coffee filters and paper napkins.

Salt Dough Creations

 Barbara recently led us in a session to create with salt dough. Here's what we came up with!

We started making initials in dough. Then, Barbara gave us each a couple of challenges to see what we could come up with!

Adrienne's Unpainted Initial

Barbara's Unpainted Initial and a Flower cut with an icing cutter

Tricia's Unpainted Initials and Flowers made using lightweight air-drying clay. 

The flowers and leaves were made using moulds and icing cutters.

And, after colouring,

Barbara used food colouring on her flowers.

Tricia coloured the various elements using Brushos dye powder, dissolved in water, and sprayed onto the dried clay.

And the result of some of the challenges:

Tricia was challenged to make a girl and a vase.

Made using pre-coloured lightweight air dry clay, and finished with sticky gems.
