Here at Pier 9 and 3/4...., I wish!!!

Taking the "F" out of refuse. 

I am very busy with finishing off my Re purposing project.

Thanks to all those who saved plastic milk cartons for me. An extra big thank you to those who rinsed them out first!!!

Cutting.

Washing, please note plastic bowl in Belfast sink!

Drying.

Cutting to fit the dies.

Sissix  big shot.

Alterations dies

Left overs

Adirondak's  Alcohol inks

Cutting some flowers just out of paper.....,

....so I can create templates for finding the middles....,

.....of the flowers.

Job is a good one!!!

Multicoloured brads, or paper fasteners

Now I need to work out where I need to place the jump rings, so I will make a paper version of the flowers necklace.

Wire, pencil, as a former, snips.

Jump rinds.

Hole punch, guess what it does!

Happy with that, I need some yellow organza ribbon to hang it from.

Next I need to finish off the ring pull necklace.

I think it needs a contrasting chain/ribbon/cord.

Thread though the jump rings

Nice, but not sure I like how it hangs.

So I cut the middle out of the cord.

And I am going to add a clamp ring.

A tad fiddly

.......but worth it.

See you soon, xxxx

TEA!

Staining paper with tea. 

Drying the tea bags.

Cutting the bags and removing the tea leaves.

Ironing the now empty tea bag. Unexpectedly strong once dry and ironed.

Stitching them together

Photocopied images, cut out.

Placed inside the tea bag...., I can see lots of potential for this.

Rubber stamps, and black ink.

This just had to be done. In loving memory of my Mummykins, who could drink more tea than you could believe!!
