Ripple randomness


Started off as an experiment, using odds and ends of blues and greens and neutrals, blended with black......quite liked the effect and so it was on its way to being a lovely long and wide winter scarf, then a 'snood' was suggested and then today just wrapped it over an extremely dull cushion and Hey Presto, a cushion it was meant to be. Very happy with this effect so this may be the new way forward to that stall, shop, table top, making a million......definitely fun to do and enjoy the randomness, and the recyclability element. Just need to work out how to sew it together. Already had my first commission for three!!! I'm happy!

fabrication........


Well it started off with making little fabric eggs.........


What are they they asked
Eggs I replied
Why are you making them they asked
Because its Easter I replied
But what is the point of them?......
Hmmmmmmmmmm.......indeed....not much point really

Well they could hang on a little Easter Tree I suppose....

Lets think again.....

Maybe the shape could be adapted to a Humpty Dumpty character





not quite there yet interesting shape though so lets try again......

oooh....



Well I quite like you.....you make me smile :)

but you need a little friend I think


Helloooooooooo.........

But what's to become of us.....surely we can be something more than and egg they cried....


well look what happened to me


I was like you once........


you will all become something... don't you worry


and ......................



there will be a happy ending...

No wonder you  NEVER have time for anything, said a voice from above........
