Hi guys, thought I'd share some photos of a new project I've been working on. So good to be designing again after making so many owls and robins in the lead up to Christmas!
It started off with me having a little play on my sewing machine...
I thought these Cornish cottages were quite cute, so decided to create a complete harbour scene, complete with some driftwood boats...
I think this house is my favourite!
I kind of like the way the front boat sits on the mount itself - it's different! (The 'buoys' are drawing pin heads)
Another detail...
And, for anyone who can't decide what county we're in, check out the name on this little boat! (I don't like to take myself too seriously!
I enjoyed myself immensely making this piece - and have gone full circle as it were: these new cards are in my Folksy shop.
The framed piece will go on sale soon - just need to work out a price, which is always the tricky part!
Thanks for looking! Hope you're having a good week xx

Hello dear!
ReplyDeleteOh, just look at your new creation - you are full of creativity! I love the combination of applique and driftwood - it makes my heart sing, truly :-)
Please make more of this sort of thing!
And thank you for posting about this, as I am in need of inspiration today :-)
Happy days to you,

Oh Kirsty, the framed houses are stunning. As soon as you decided on a price, let me know. Maybe it doesn't find its way to your shop ;-)) You have to make more of these scenes. And I'm sure the cards will sell soon! Hope you're enjoying the sun today? Love, Gertie
ReplyDeleteWhat ho my lovely!
ReplyDeleteAs ever I am in awe of your gorgeous work, you clever creative lady. I am sitting here with my magic bean box trying to get some inspiration but not really succeeding. Mrs Bun, more tea and a biscuit needed I think. Maybe that will kick start our inspiration!
Am off to window shop on folksy now, Happy Tuesday, Ax
Woot! Lovely and fresh - gorgeous idea to make a harbour scene, and the colours are great, very coastal. Also like the mixed media element of the driftwood and wording, nice touch, especially the name of the boat..Pasty...nice one!
ReplyDeleteLove Julia x x x

ReplyDeleteI like the same house as you, also the one with the white spotted roof, wouldn't it be fun to really have a spotted roof?! Mind you, with all the gulls, most harbour houses probably have LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt is truly refreshing work and makes me want to live in your neck of the woods even more! Sigh...
