Thanks to all of you for making my mailbox (and me) very happy!
Your leaves are so wonderful. I saw that Martha Stewart was using leaves for place cards but not nearly as nice as yours!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cheryl! I'm going to see how they survive on a postcard. :)
DeleteI love your tags and your leaves! Both fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie!
DeleteLOVE your leaves!!!And the bark too. We've got lots of birches in our yard-I should try it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debra! The bark is in layers, so you can peel it into sheets of various thicknesses. :)
DeleteGreat tags! I'm nutso for tags although I haven't made any in a while. The leaf stitching is quite fascinating. Are you forming them? It would seem that they would be extremely fragile. Love your mail too. Bryce Eleanor's card is adorable.
ReplyDeleteFraming them (not forming them). LoL
DeleteI plan to frame a couple if I come up with some I really love, but now I'm thinking of attaching them to postcards or maybe walking through the neighborhood surreptitiously hanging leaves back on trees with a little note. :)
DeleteThe leaves and bark are looking intriguing!
ReplyDeleteThey have kept me busy, and I have a few more leaves in progress, but I am about tired of the leaves. :o
DeleteLike the tags and love the stitching on the leaves and bark.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why I enjoy making the tags so much, but they are kind of a recent obsession. :)
DeleteThose leaves just keep getting better and more interesting. I'm loving the tags, too, but I have to wonder what you'll do with them. It's just a passing curiosity. I could see myself making and making and making and nothing gets used. Hopefully, you have a plan!
ReplyDeleteThe tags sometimes go in to letters to be used as bookmarks, but they also make good gift tags. The leaves are now going on letters and postcards--but mostly, both activities are busy work, like the old woman knitting the mile-long scarf. :)
DeleteThis is fantastic - all this creativity - and I love your comment about the old woman knitting the mile-long scarf!
ReplyDeleteThose leaves are amazing by the way!
Lynn :D
Thanks, Lynn! I don't always have a purpose in mind when I try something, but often a way to use my scraps and experiments appears somewhere down the line. :)
DeleteGreat Post!! I loved seeing everything. You are definitely the 'tag queen' and your stitched leaves left me envious!! We've been out of town for a few days so I'm just getting back on line and back to studio work.
ReplyDelete:) As much fun as getting away for a few days can be, fingers can be itching to get back in the studio.
DeleteLoving your stitching on the birch back, what a great idea, and your stitched leaves are lovely!
