Created by Hand have asked us to make ‘Pins’ and Kelly has written a fab tutorial on how to make arty pins (I saw this in the previous newsletter, I think!). It’s easy to follow and I really enjoyed this one. I used a pretty lady in pink from Digital Collage Sheets, added the word rose and a fluffy fibre fringe. I added a pink tiny mulberry flower and a crystal gem and covered the whole thing with Diamond glaze (applied by digit!). Lastly, a teensy sprinkle of silver microbeads and I attached the pin to the back. I look forward to wearing this little cutie!
The whole thing is adhered to an embossed tomato paste tube inchy and backed with a chipboard inchy to give it strength. I had fun making my own wearable art this evening! Shame about the glare from the flash – we have yucky weather again today, worse luck!
