Happy Tuesday to
you all!
Such heavenly
celestial tags from everyone last week, I have much enjoyed looking at them
all. Looking forward to seeing what we
have all come up with for this week’s theme.
For my first tag I
took tiny snippets from my brown fabric box,
and stitched them to a fabric tag to make a little sampler of machine and hand embroidery stitches. I have added an odd earring and a flower from
an old embroidered jumper. The edge is
finished with buttonhole stitch in variegated brown thread. I
enjoyed stitching this tag because the various bits hold such memories!
I have photographed my tags against the sepia-coloured silk from a Victorian embroidered parasol. This was too beautiful to make into a tag,
but I am so grateful for the opportunity of rediscovering it in my box of
browns.
Creepier Sepia!
My second tag was
made a few weeks ago using my rusty tie-dyed calico. This piece looked like a spider’s web; all
it needed was a spider! This one is definitely
Brown Bread (Dead)! Unfortunately he is a bit shrivelled up now! I am a
bit of an arachnophobe and this is the closest I have ever been to a spider! I know
friends from hot countries will think this is a pathetic specimen, but he’s big
enough for me!
On the back of the tag are some leaves die-cut from the same fabric.
Thank you for
looking, and also for your kind comments on my fireworks tag last week.
Cheerio for now,

Very creative!!
