Since acetate is transparent, it was easy to trace the pattern onto the sheet. I used a dry-erase marker (red, above) because when I was done cutting I could just wipe it off. This made cutting MUCH faster and easier.
A 'defect' in the bark breaks the pattern, and I break mine by opening my eyes to things other than birds. To tell the truth, it's a lot better getting a picture of a bark that I find interesting when waiting for a bird to make it's appearance. :)
This morning when we were out on the safari, I'd forgotten to pocket my WALs and had to make do with the tele. This was at the banks of a fairly large water-body. One of our co-passengers in the jeep got bit by a leech, and we aptly nick-named the water-body 'Leech Lake'.

I've been busy putting together some easy tatting patterns I've called the Graces: Gwen, Gail and Gracie. I show the process I used to create these patterns on my blog at: knotshire.wordpress.com The patterns are available to purchase at my Etsy site: knotshire.etsy.com - and some of the finished snowflakes are available too!
Reading the wikstenmade blog has inspired me to become a better seamstress. I tried to do the pattern maker justice. (^-^)
This pattern was drafted/draped on a large bust ElfDoll Sooah (old body style). NO seam allowances have been added; please make a muslin and test the fit before committing to the real fabric! See notes on pattern for fitting and construction advice.

Black and white becomes depressing. Abstraction too isn't very human, and to smile is essentially human.

These patterns were created by placing my favourite vase on a shallow plate with ridges on it. The resulting wavy lines were most attractive and altered as the vase was turned. The glass sides of the vase are quite thick.
I made this card as part of this month's Hero Arts contest "Try Something New". I've had this "Blossoms" stamp set for a long time, and have NEVER used it!!! I also have a brand new embossing folder (Darice "Damask" 5'x7") that I'd been itching to use. AND, I rarely stamp on patterned paper, so that's something fairly new for me, too!
This card was inspired by several of the beautiful cards Lin has made using the "Blossoms" stamp set on patterned paper. Thanks for the inspiration Lin!!
