Laughter

DLP time again, we are still in "touchy freely" mode and the call Is for stitching & the prompt " all that I am after is life full of laughter" - some of the design team even spoke about " wet panties" laughter,
I seriously hope they did not mean that literally!

As luck would have it, when I was in my samples drawer last week fishing out my waxed paper, I came across a piece of drawn thread work from a couple of decades ago.

A piece of blue linen type fabric, threads removed, an assortment of threads to gather the remaining weave into bundles. It's been backed with a piece of synthetic fabric that's coloured with transfer crayons. I also had a length of gauze bandage that (came out of one of our car first aid bags) I've coloured with silk paints.


The prompt has been hand written onto a strip of watercolour paper that I ran my tracing wheel around & then stitched by hand.


Weather here has been dreadful all weekend but it does mean that the journaling has got done lol, I also linked my bunting pages to a challenge and have done my inchie/ATC for tomorrow, if it stays like this all week might even get round to adjusting the length of the curtains that I got recently for our bedroom!

See you all again soon and thank you for your visits/comments, they are all much appreciated :-)

  3. Stunning, Sally! What a perfect combination of your hoarded threadwork with that gorgeous dyed gauze. And the words are wonderful. One of my all time favourites of yours, for sure.
