It must look like I have been supremely un-productive recently, but I have been making stuffs, honest. It's just that everything has been either Christmas related for people who read the blog, so I can't reveal until after the big day - or it's been for Marit's Top 2000 Blog Party, so I am waiting for that to start before I blog my contributions....Finally, though, I've made something for my cousin, who I am pretty sure is not a blog reader, so I can put it on here :)
As you can see by the plug sockets next to it, it's not very big, and I thought £35 was a lot, given it was unframed - but I did think my cousins would like it ...... so I decided to make my own version
It took two nights and I now have very achey fingers, but I am really chuffed with the end result!

| I was getting pretty bored by this point :) |
I hope they like it!
If not, I rather like how it looks on my fireplace with the little reindeers, I might just keep it :D
Keep it! :-D
ReplyDeleteI love this. Did you freehand it as you went or did you draw the template first?
ReplyDeletehi Sonja - neither, I printed it on the back of the patterned paper (you can see the design in grey in the top photo) - although I did deviate from the design a bit as I went on
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah that really is a labour of love but soooooooooooo worth it - the end result is utterly gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSarah, this is really intricate and beautiful. So much work, and such a treasure to keep too. They will love it, I'm sure. Hey, maybe I'll make you a nerdy canvas, we can have a bit of an arty swap later on if you want? I'm flat out busy until April, but would love to make you something that we have in common....numbers! Have a wonderful Christmas. Michelle xx
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing. This is spectacular. I love it.
ReplyDeleteIt cracks me up that you were getting bored. That's my problem too! Anyway it turned out beautifully... did she love it??
