Hi, girls! I nosed around the internet, looking for something to do with a carpet beater and found this neat image of a maid holding one. I made the mini beater out of wire and a painted piece of a wooden skewer. Once I figured out the pattern to the "twist," it was pretty easy. The "lace" on the bottom area is a piece of a paper doily. Have a good week and don't beat too many carpets!!
Great Tag Diane! I love your little vintage carpet beater.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful tag - I love the image and I just adore your hand-made carpet beater!! Fabulous!!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea, the doiley lace is really realistic and just right for the maid's pretty apron, Jane xx

LOVE your tag, and the mini rug beater you made to embellish it!!! I have an old full-sized one that was my grandmother's! ~tina
ReplyDeleteI also have a full-sized one that was my grandmother's. How funny!
DeleteHi Diane, I think she looks a bit of a saucy piece myself. Hope she doesnt beat the master of the house.

I am afraid of this lady. She reminds me a bit of Mrs. Danvers from Manderley.
ReplyDeleteEach part of this tag is inspired . I love the touches of lace and the mini beater to tell this maid;s story so well.
ReplyDeletea beautiful and fabulously original idea for your spring cleaning tag ... it's perfect Diane ♥
