I made silky crescent moons - one for each side of the bag.
 |
| Several layers of mawata silk squares |
 |
| Using a small plate as a template |
 |
| to draw around with a gel pen. |
 |
| By moving the plate along and following the curve of one edge again I got a nice crescent moon |
 |
| Carefully cut out |
 |
| Placed on the flap and wetted out. I had already added greenery along the bottom (like in the picture below) where it would show beneath the flap |
 |
| This is the back of the bag. (before I flipped it and added the flap) I wanted a hint of moonlit fields so added green with a few longer twists of green for grassy stems. Some nice smoky blue/grey boucle yarn runs through the sky, and LOTS of tussah silk |
Właśnie się zastanawiałam z czego zrobiłaś księżyc, bo jest srebrny. Nie spodziewałam się, że chusteczki jedwabne dadzą taki poblask.

ReplyDeleteP.S. Deborah, is it important to have captcha for comments? It's very difficult to identify the code sometimes, really. I tried to leave a comment for 5 times...

ReplyDeleteHi Alevtina, sorry to hear you've had difficulty with the captcha.. thank you for keeping on trying, it's lovely to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteI did take it off for a while but got lots of dodgy comments and links to porn sites appearing in the comments so I put it back on. I used to struggle with captcha myself until I realised I was entering a space in between the 2 halves.. but if I left the space out it accepted it. Now I never enter a space, just type the letters and numbers and haven't had one rejected since.
Sometimes though I think it is just temperamental, a couple of days ago I entered a code and accidentally hit enter after only typing the first half.. it accepted it :S Please do let me know if you continue to have trouble..
