Last year I just had to design my own digi stamp, this year's suggestion turned into quite a construction project and I had to draw a robot as well.
Tiny embroidered bouquet
I'm slowly starting to do more work with textiles in one form or another. This piece of hand embroidery is another step along the way to figuring out exactly what it is I want to create.
Collage paper flowers
Another project built on leftovers; this time I used previously coloured tissue to create new collage paper and then turned that into flowers for a family birthday card.
Butterfly art cards
Embracing the spirit of "use what you have" and "don't waste anything", I turned leftover papers from one project into a set of art cards, with the addition of a few other scraps from my stash.
Stitched Tom Servo
It's surprising what you can get done when you choose to ignore a deadline. I completed this robot design, and the stitching and framing in time for my other half's birthday.
Embroidered otter
I took a break from making MST3K-themed cards for my other half's birthday this time and hand-stitched a cute underwater otter instead.
Just coloured: Copic butterflies
Normally I colour images without too much thought for purpose or technique. I approached these butterflies with a different intent.
Bunny twins
Hot on the heels of making individual cards for a pair of grown-up twins, I had to make one welcoming another pair into the world.
R2-D2
I found this model kit while I was having a tidy and decided that, rather than putting it back on a shelf, I should just take the time to sit down and build it.
Mixed media abstracts
Inspired by watercolour-based mixed media abstracts, this year I created a pair of colourful cards with added shine and hand stitching for the twins.
Diamond twill weaving
This is a rare example of me actually practising something before using it in a finished creation: a fun diamond twill weaving pattern.
Angry owl
The last piece of un-blogged Copic colouring. I've been looking for it for more than two years and I finally found it lurking on a shelf!
Needle felted hexagons
I've crossed another craft off my "must-try" list. I came up with an idea for having a relatively quick play with needle felting, did it three times over, and ended up with a finished creation.
Graphic happy birthday
Faced with making another masculine card, I went for the bright, shiny and graphic option; designing a card inspired by some chocolate.
Painted peony
Proving that the success of the painted hellebore wasn't a one-off, I painted a peony for my mum.
