October Pennant Swap

Autumn weather arriving and looking forward to having more time to

create with various inks and paints. 

Meanwhile here are this months lovely swaps.

 

For my pennant, I used a background created using

dye inks on a gelli plate with ink lifted using

rubber stamps.

July Pennant Swap

Another happy crafting day spent with friends,

including our monthly swap

 

Here is my pennant, using Georgina Stylised Woodware flower

stamps available in two sizes, I love them.

The smaller size used in the background

 with white embossing powder.

The flowers were stamped onto Gelli plate

background cardstock when I used dye inks, stamping
to remove the ink before lifting the print.

June Pennant Swap

We had a busy day at our last craft day, more details in the next post! 

A few away on the day so only three of us to swap this month.

Here is my pennant, using a crackle background, though it is difficult to see and a

subtle use of the Water Droplet stamp again from Designs by Ryn.

Tanya has used her cat again here, all her pennants so far feature her cat stamp

all with different techniques.

Pamela's pennant has a butterfly theme with an inky background, I love the colours.

May Pennant Swaps

Close up of my pennant



What a busy May workshop and rather occupied with our boards, we eventually found time to sort out our pennant swap and what a treat they all were, though I photographed them I somehow have not managed to take one of Linda's, perhaps I can add it later.

Here are two fabulous pennants by Liz and Annie

APRIL PENNANT SWAP

For the background of my swap this month, I used torn layers of papers glued to chipboard, then metal tape around the edges.

 



My swap

Here are all the lovely swaps we enjoyed at our last craft day from those taking part, it is really interesting to see how different they are. I will have a great banner at the end of the year to hang in my craft room.

March Pennant Swap

Here we are in March which has brought with it better weather and our latest Craft Group meet up!

 

Below are the fabulous banner pennants some of the group made and swapped this month.  As you can see there are lots of different techniques and styles.

The room was a hive of activity all day with a mix of crafts.  Jane brought along her Embellisher machine and several of us had a go, a couple of us where smitten and may well take this up at a later date.  I must say I could see that it could be addictive, a great way to use up fibres, ribbon and such to produce unique artwork on felt backing.   Below you will see the result of a short play with different fibres, don't laugh as I am sure I could improve with practise.

Happy crafting until the next time!!!
