100/100 bag moths

Day 100 had to be wire and beads, I love the shape of these wire bag moths and the shadow they cast on the wall when the lights are on.

 

This 100 day project has gone pretty well I think, apart from my slump over Christmas. The bags look very cool in our hall so they will stay there for a while.

I have just taken a leap into the 21st century and purchased a tablet and set up an instagram page. it is called @dixeysoul, same as this blog, I can't cope with to many names!! So if you are on instagram please take a look. This blog will always have my class details etc, the instagram will be mostly just pictures of my work, hoping to inspire some young embroiderers. Lets see what 2016 brings!

 



bag moths 96 and 97

Both my children hate the feel of labels in their clothes, so as soon as we get anything to wear I have to cut the label out, this bag moth has the labels from a new T shirt ( well new from the op shop!)

A fabric twist from the selvedge side of some Kaffe fabric.

This bag moth is made from the spiral binding of an old calendar, I always take the wire off so we can put the pages in the recycling bin. I just had to add some silver thread to make is sparkle.

I love this fabric, the blue spots were perfect to add some yellow stitching.
