The best thread is...

Time for another MakingArt challenge on the EWV Yahoo group.  The inspiration piece can be found in Book Two, Page 39.  It's a hanging piece and features some sewing on it.  I haven't looked at it yet - I don't like to be influenced but use my own ideas from the info given.

This is a #11 tag (7 1/2"x 3 3/4").  I used stamps from Just Sew Artsy and Art By Hand.  Used the scissors from Tools for Art Art Parts - so fun to apply it (colored in silver) onto the coordinating stamp.  Great idea, Wendy!

I happened to have a wood disk that just fit the spool label (center of tag) so it looks like the top of the spool.  How cool is that!?!?!  The thimble was stamped on silver paper.  Buttons, thread, ribbon and a mini brad complete the project.

  2. Looks great, Susan! The thimble and scissors look so real. Hard to believe they're not seriously metal.
