Earth Day 2009

For earth day 2009 I stitched up some reusable gift bags. First I lightly felted some wool yardage and then made the bags. Now for the fun part of decorating them. As you can see, one bag is finished with a bit of red knitted lace.

This morning I made this small silk gift bag. The lace is knitted with a handdyed silk.

Bead Journal Project

April -
April is in honor of my Mom, it being her birth month. The feature piece on this is her sorority pin. The crystals represent her birthstone which is diamond.

March -

This piece honors my father-in-law whose birth month was March. The brass button in the center is from his military uniform. Bob Sr. served as a paratrooper during WWII.
