If you don't DO fiddly, then these are not for you! Cute? Yes! Tricky to make? Most definitely! I'm a messy pup when it comes to the glue (perhaps I like the smell of it too much!!) so you can imagine the mess I got into with these ones!
But just look at what my ladies created yesterday at the workshop (& didn't get into half the mess I did)!
(For some reason Pic Monkey wouldn't let me make a collage with these pics, so I've created a Mosaic in Big Huge Labs, but unfortunately that means the pictures are cropped! I hope you can still get a sense of the beautiful purses that were made.)
These purses are all medium 3" x 6" ones. Well done ladies for managing the tricky and messy stages of these purses so elegantly! You did me proud!
And a big thank you to everyone who made suggestions on how to remove the excess glue from the frames. Nail polish remover works a treat on the silver metal frames, and I used white spirit on the gun metal ones. A bit smelly, but it did the job!
Jxo
Great purses and yes I bet those little frames were fiddly. Good tip with the white spirit. I guess it's the acetone and other stuff in nail varnish that strips the colour of the gun metal frames.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta get your highs where you can Jude ;-) Gorgeous purses and how sweet of that lovely lady.
ReplyDeleteMust admit I was starting to worry about your penchant for the smell of that glue yesterday. Fab day, loads of fun and laughs and pretties to show for our efforts! Thank you!!
ReplyDeletewell done, I've tried it twice and its too fiddly for me!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely purses but 3"x1" - can you hear me groan.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day, just what was needed at the end of a busy week. Perfect Saturday workshop. Well done. I love my purses.:)
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute!
ReplyDeleteYes those little ones are fiddly! Or my hand is just too big! Great making from your ladies - guess that is Christmas sorted!
ReplyDeleteBeatiful, fiddle or not, your ladies did brilliantly :)! I must make more for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteFor a horrifying moment I thought you were going to be modelling these in your yellow polka dot bikini, and I thought with the temps these days, the goosebumps would be terrible... Still, you all did a fab job on the purses ;o)
ReplyDeleteThat was my thought too Katy when this blog came up in my News Feed. LOL Looks like we both have the same bent mind!
DeleteThese look great, I haven't dared to make one yet because I fear them a little.
ReplyDeletelooks great fun, I thought the mosaic cropped photos were arty camera work.
ReplyDeleteLooks like your day was a big success, I am so pleased those wee frames were finally transformed.x
ReplyDeleteI love these so much! Any chance you'll be doing a pattern for Etsy?!
