The Artist in you!

I can see all three very clearly now. They are just beautiful! The middle one looks to me like there are some sewn portions on it. Not?

Craig, I think I read on one of the threads you had a "gig" this weekend? If so, wondering how it went for you. Share photos when you can and articles. I hope it was great and I am sure it was. You are in your element when you are performing, right? Since I haven't heard back, thinking you might have hopped over to another thread. Are you happy with how the Halloween thread is coming along? Those short one liner jokes are great! I have enjoyed those. Guess I will go on to bed and hopefully sleep. Long day tomorrow. Well, maybe you just popped on, let me check and answer if so.....

Please don't go just yet! I am on another thread at the same time. You might be interested in it! It might shortly involve the Halloween thread.

Yes, I did have a gig tonight. I have some mixed feelings about it that would be appropriate to post on this thread. But, that might have to happen at a later time.

Not a stitch! The bunny was just a cloth bunny purchased at local craft store. I even made the clothes for the bunny from material used in wreath and glued every bit of it!

I have made curtains for my kitchen that fit on a rod and can be used as ballooned or flat and glued both the top and bottom part that goes on the rod and take them off and launder them also. I just use hot glue. I don't even sew on buttons! Pretty sad, I know. I had to take Home EC in high school and it took five of us to put my zipper in my skirt. As you know, I ride motor cycles, fish and hunt, do my art and am just not really into the girly things. I have always been a tomboy and enjoy every minute of it although my sister use to try to change me into being a lady! LOL A few years later she and her husband bought Harley's and she is more like me but still can be quite the lady. She is six years older than I and always thinks I should march to her beat but ........ I pretty much march to the beat of my own drum! LOL

I buy my daughter what would usually considered to be "guy" type things for Christmas. Tools, etc.

Viewing what you have done with the wreaths, I now feel confident that I could do such a thing. I have at least three or four hot glue guns. (Keep buying them because I forget where they are at.) I love to make artsy crafty things! At Christmas time, I hold the neighborhood Christmas party at my home. I usually end up borrowing a bunch of stuff from friends and neighbors as far as decorations and whatever. It would be nice to have more things that I have made myself to display.

Just buy straw wreath at craft store, cut your choice of material in four inch squares with pinking shears, use a stylus or flat end skewer when you place glue on center of piece of material on the print side, then stick it into the straw. It takes a lot of pieces of material if you like them really full like I do and I like to continue the material a little around to the back, not all the way but I don't like the straw wreath to show through. Easy, just time consuming. No end to the ideas of how to decorate them. As with most things, I do a few of one type thing then try another. Glad you like them. No doubt you could do them. If I can, you can!

Craig, I hate to crash out on you but I have a long day planned tomorrow. I will be anxious to hear about your night though! See you on the thread, hopefully tomorrow night? Later then!

Are pinking shears the kind with all of the angles in them?

That's okay! I definitely understand! I should be "rolling up the sidewalk" myself here. "Michelle" already got off of the site. It probably would be best that I do, too.

Jan,
I "sew" love the "sew" wreath!
