You'll have to forgive my soft take on the theme this week..... its there in spirit! We had to add something to do with sewing and if you look REALLY closely with one eye shut, maybe....I used Grant pearlescent CS in charcoal gray, with a piece of Kagaz handmade paper featuring stitched (well, almost!!) stems. The flower is a glittery little surprise from the Poobahs
which I mounted on a Kaiser cutout for a bit more depth. There are pearly sequins with a bit of purple so that inspired the ribbon (STITCHED on the edges!!) and the sentiment which glitters too. Then I couldn't resist one last touch so there's a tiny white tipped dressmaker's pin down in the corner. Yes I know I should have got out the sewing machine and quilted a tiny square, or painstakingly cross-stitched a black cat stretching in the sun.......but in the spirit of Opus Gluei, here it is.
Your writing always makes me smile - love your justification and whole heartedly agree you met the challenge in the spirit of Opus Gluei

I'm so happy to see your lovely creations again! And is that lavender I spy? What a gorgeous flower.
ReplyDeleteI received your lovely email and shall respond as soon as I can sit down and relax for a moment. Today is crazy! Maybe it's me that's crazy.
Love you!

I love this! You got the spirit of Opus-Gluei, we're about the fun (not stress) and this is perfect! Actually the paper does look stitched and the stitching on the ribbon edge, yep all there!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card. I love to see the Opus Gluei themes taken and applied in all sorts of manners. Of course I can see the stiching here. Totally acceptable. And very, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteFabulous job - a challenge is always what you make of it - and you've made it yours!
