This is what I stitched last night, then made up this morning whilst it was sunny, it's 4pm now and turning darker. Did I ever say I loved winter? I was born in the spring but I love winter more, I think it's owing to the love of being able to snuggle up with a good book and a mug of tea and not move. Okay perhaps that is something you don't have to limit it to winter, but it does seem more apt for this season than say summer.
Opps now I've gone and sidetracked, what was I talking about? Oh what I've been making, a handful of tissue holders, one carrying on the Onomatopoeia Collection this time using a different coloured thread, linen and liberty tana lawn. The others which are new are two somewhat playfully insulting tissue holders. The Insulting Tissue Holders come in snot and drip, and also working on the idea of some others, but my mind has gone a little blank. 
Other than that I'm about to go and work on the basic maths for constructing my next clock, with the sale of the toadstool and flowers clock I feel the desire to make something new. The scale of this new clock will be much smaller, based on the size of the clock movement I purchased, and because I think it would be nice. If I like the style I'll make more at this size and have the larger scale as a one off for commissions only. Though whether or not I would make another one remains to be seen, though I would like one for myself. Only when I have my own place.
Over and out!
I know that uninspired feeling all too well! I have periods of no inspiration at all, then times I've got loads of ideas in my head and can't wait to translate them into wire. My stock doesn't sell that quickly though, so I don't need to feel too guilty for the dry periods :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your clock sold, it's a gorgeous piece!
Have you done 'bless you' or 'bogies' tissue holders? My sister goes "HETschu" when she sneezes, but I don't think people would get what hetschu means :D How about 'atissue'?
Fantastic! They look far too lovely to be used during a full scale bout of flu, but may be they will encourage the bugs to run away.
