Day Nineteen - Framed YoYo Quilt Set in Pink Gingham

Today I was inspired by an Etsy front page that had all pale, soft pinks, whites and naturals. You can see the collection here. I immediately went up to my studio and grabbed this pale pink gingham and made one of my framed yoyo sets. I've been making yoyos (a quilt, vests, jewelry) for 17 years and making and selling these framed sets for 5 years. It was perfect because I actually had two other sets finished, but I just had not taken pictures of them yet, so finishing this set got me into action and now all three have been added to my Etsy shop here.

TAD Day 16 - Deerstuff's Coloured Dreams: More Flowers in My Garden ;)

"Pluck this little flower and take it, delay not! I fear lest it
droop and drop into the dust.

I may not find a place in thy garland, but honour it with a touch of
pain from thy hand and pluck it. I fear lest the day end before I am
aware, and the time of offering go by.

Though its colour be not deep and its smell be faint, use this flower
in thy service and pluck it while there is time."

(Rabindranath Tagore)

TAD 2010-10 Unraveled

Remember this sweater?

4340037992_ba7e9988ec_b.jpg

It mostly looks like this now:

(Yes, ONE of those balls was Day 7). Alas, I could not salvage the green or blue yarn - they are in spaghetti shreds in my scrap fiber (threads, yarn and fabric) "recycling" bin... for potential projects or recycling when it starts to overflow and i can't stand it anymore.

Note to Self: Do not pick out multi-colored sweaters for yarn unraveling unless 1. the colors appear in large horizontal (and I mean minimum 4" LARGE)  worth-picking apart blocks or 2. you have a lot of time on your hands, you like the feeling of rawness in your fingers from unraveling a whole bunch of knots and you just generally want to waste the shreds of yarn you can't put back together.

i had thought about putting it into a snow globe, but since it's my first sculpey project, i decided to leave it alone. i added it to a collection of piggies that i have...

TAD - Day 9: silver and rose quartz earrings

These earrings use faceted rose quartz beads, silver plated wire and some silver-coloured findings I was given as a freebie by one of my Etsy suppliers. They're long, but I do like these shape earwires!

TAD - Day 8: Deerstuff's Coloured Dreams: "Harlequin” Earrings

Inspired by some photos from the Carnival of Venice,

“today’s thing” is a playful  multicoloured pair of chandelier earrings,

made from yellow jade, pink  Malaysian jade, Australian jade,

crazy lace agate, amethyst, moss agate, rainbow fluorite and jasper, “mixed” with silver-plated metallic beads.

The Venice Carnival is a wonderful yearly-event,

one of the most famous carnivals in the world.

The pictures I’ve mentioned before show

some inspirational “Harlequin costumes”. 

 “Harlequin” or “Arlecchino” is known as the king of the stage

of the comedy dell’arte.

 

“The Harlequin costume consists of a jacket and trousers made of

irregularly-shaped colored material, a white felt cap occasionally with rabbit or fox fur.

He always wears a belt with a wooden spatula hanging from it.

He wears a black half-mask with demonic features

(legend has it that the name Harlequin derives from a demon called Alichino

cited by Dante Alighieri in Inferno part of the "Divine Comedy".

He sometimes has a bristly moustache and eyebrows and a large nose.

A typical part of the Harlequin costume is the red lump on the head.”
