My 1st Bag!!!

Happy New Year to you all!!
My first post of 2009 sees a new creation for me. I had some wool that was purchased at an Attic sale before Christmas. It was a bag of odds and ends and I found a lovely purple Chenille plush wool.
I was in mind to knit a scarf for my daughter and decided to go for it.
I got soo far then realised that as there was only about 1 and a half balls and I had gone a bit wide........................what to do???

Well this was what I came up with!!

I may well change the Butterfly button as it is a tad small!!!

The bag looks Blue here, but is actually a really deep gothic purple!!

I have used an old cream jumper as a liner and it makes it even squishier!!

Ok I had a dig around and found this Vintage Ceramic Brooch instead of the butterfly!!

I think it looks much better now. Do you???

All in all I am quite pleased with my scarf, Ooops I mean Bag!!!

Another glass fan sculpture

This is a piece I have recently made using the same sort of technique as the other fan sculpture.

I love the colours in this piece and the sheen and sparkle from some of them.

Again this would look great in a sunny window on a crisp winter morning!

I am not sure whether to keep it for myself!

Please let me know what you think of these types of sculpture ornaments as I am thinking of making them as my speciality.

Millefiori Dish

Ok This week I have been over the moon to find Millefiori pieces that are compatible with my other glass. I decided to create this 11.5cm x11.5cm decorative dish.

The Base is a dark Purple and I have used a mixture of red and lime green Millefiori pieces!

Also this week, I got a commission for some peices to be used within wood! I can't wait to the finished results!

Sorry about the lack of blog last week. I have been updating my website and this item is available to purchase!

Halloween next week!!
