August 2013

The August meeting was a relaxed get-together, with 4 tables with a project each. The first was a Fimo cake, the second a box making session, either for miniatures or as a gift box for miniatures, the third was making portraits either wall hung or as framed photos on a desk and the fourth table had all sorts of different things and several were learning to knit in miniature.

But to start off our August photo gallery, here is the beautiful doll in a knitted wedding dress, exquisite! It must have taken hundreds of hours...

June 2013 meeting

We had a lovely afternoon creating chairs under the expert guidance of Jill and this is what we were aiming for, with all sorts of different fabrics of course.

The seat is made with a cotton reel, which makes it a very stable chair! 

 

Those are bead-feet of course!

It's not that awful is it? To be our tutor for the afternoon, that is.... The instructions were very detailed and very well done!

The seat finished, time for the back and braid to finish it off...

A good overview of the different bits and pieces, before putting it together...

This fabric is so summery, unlike the weather at the moment...

The rubber band makes it look a bit creased,
 but that is definitely temporary!

Ready to finish

This one is almost there...

 Thank you Jill, it was a lovely afternoon project and all chairs were far enough along to finish at home!

-----------------------------------

This one was finished after the meeting, with a bit of a modification, because the seat was a bit too high to add feet...

Any more photos will be added as soon as I get them!

May 2013 meeting

Today was a really enjoyable meeting. We were all making a mess with brick/stone stuff, stencils and with everyone having their own unique results. No two sets of walls were the same.  All we have left to do is 'oldify' it.

This is one of the corners we are aiming for. Flagstones on the ground and brick walls. Some are going for all stone walls and something else on the ground.  Not all of us are doing the low brick walls. Flowerbed maybe or conservatory base or ???

 Those were the first goes at using the stencils, varying thickness gives a unique  look to each one.

Click on the photos to enlarge them and see what I mean by every one of them is different and unique!

Thank you to Lucy and Shirley for organising it all with Bromley Craft!

I've added another 15 blogs, specially for Jenny! Well, and of our other club members, of course!

See you all next month!
