NOTES FROM THE NEST
I've been busy here in the Nest.
Two projects in full swing.
The theater that I mentioned before and another which has me just as jazzed.
In the Paper Whimsy group I am participating in a very special project.
Faerie Slippers!!!
Wee little 3" slippers.
It is an 1X1 exchange and a contest
to be judged by the very creator of the idea and pattern,
Annette Emms.
The winner of Best of Show
receives a copy of the Embroiderer's Guild magazine,
Stitch,
which had a fantastic article featuring Annette's slippers.
It's so wonderful to pull my trusty sewing machine out
and jump back into
an arena I stepped away from for so long.
For the slippers I found gorgeous Dupioni silk at Joggles.
It's a pale pink.
Since I am in the Marie Antoinette mode with my theater,
I decided the slipper theme would be the
Queen Faerie of Versailles who, of course, lives
in the gardens of none other than herself 'Marie Antoinette'.
I machine quilted the silk to a felt base
then cut the slipper tops and soles.
Here is one slipper top in the process of having the lace and beads applied.
This will take some time and I have only begun. But take a look.
click on the photo and you can see it closer
and the sparkle of the swarovski crystal beads
Remember..........this is only 3"!!!
I may have a hard time giving them up..but I am sure the slippers I receive in the exchange will be glorious.
