Christmas Banner

You may remember earlier this year I made a series of Happy Birthday banners? Well while I was at it, I also made this Christmas banner! It was lovely to pick out an assortment of wintery colours and textures of paper and card - some shimmery, shiny, sparkley, mottled and textured...  Basically what my winter wonderland is filled with :) I was tempted to do another in red and green, and I still might, but not quite yet...

A Peek Inside My Sketchbook V

Inspired by some graffiti I saw on a Blackpool tram.

Printing with bubble wrap!

Printing with plastic bags (inspired by Alisa Burke), and silhouette found here.

Felt Patchwork Christmas Stocking

After making my husband his Star Wars R2D2 Christmas stocking last year, I decided to make my own personalised stocking this year :)

You may remember seeing sneak peeks of this earlier in the year, piecing together the patchwork and these detailed sparkly sections.

The back is made from white fleece, and the front is made from a patchwork of felt. The different elements on the front involve beading, sequins, felting, hand stitching and ribbons.

I love it so much, and can't wait to (hopefully!) find it on Christmas morning...!
