week 28--fancy

Yowza. Almost seven weeks behind. It was a busy summer, part (most) of which was spent cleaning out my mother's house. I really didn't know what to do with this word, but having found so many monogrammed linen napkins there I pondered cutting and embellishing one, "F is for fancy". But instead I found in my stash a black faux silk and some fancy, antique buttons--rhinestones, marcasite, mother-of-pearl, millefiore, and such. I'd always wanted to try the ruffler attachment that came with my Singer Featherweight so used that to ruffle the black ribbon for the edges. The rhinestone trim was leftover (read: untouched) from another unfinished (read: unstarted) project.
I'm so looking forward to pulling a new word--and having a little more time to work on it!

week 20--blue

So does this one say 'blue'? I think back to how lame 'black' was, though someone at the Fiber Art Show last weekend said she totally 'got' that one. (The whole collection, up to week 19, was on display there and people said how different it was to see them all 'in person'.) This one might make up for all the times I thought I hadn't used enough beads and embellishments.
Fusible web, ribbon, decorative yarns, buttons, and beads.
Only two-and-a-half weeks behind--I'm catching up!
