Good morning. Two new arty crafty pieces to show today. I got this idea from a 2017 copy of Stitch magazine. It looked rather colourful so I thought I would have a go. Layers of felt embellished with embroidery, buttons, beads, braids, and crochet. The trees are snippets from an old plastic Christmas wreath.
The magazine describes it as a Toran. It is a festive Hindu door hanging that is stretched above the front door to celebrate special occasions, and to welcome guests into their home.
At last the rope bowl is finished. It is rather big, 12 inches across, and rather deep. The rope has been wrapped with fabric from a skirt I cut into strips. I started off with red wool then realised I wouldn't have enough to do the whole bowl, so I carried on with yellow and mixed it up a bit. It is a long and laborious process. I have another smaller version on the go, when I get round to finishing it.
Enjoy your weekend. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
