A messy worker am I. Usually end up surrounded by discarded scraps of cloth and thread.
When the scraps get too distracting, I gather them up and store them in glass bowls, jars, flowerpots...
When my fingers need something to do, I wrap them around a core of string one scrap or bundle of thread at a time...
Perhaps some rusty bits and pieces could be used as frames or borders.
penny, yes, I do that too
ReplyDeletevery happy looking. i keep meaning to do that but other things get in the way while the scraps stay in their jars. i like your rusted borders and frames. k.
ReplyDeleteWell, I haven't done that yet, but I guess I'll be saving more scraps now! Yours are so colorful. I just know you are going to do something really cool with them!.
ReplyDeletefabulous idea. love the rust frame. looks like a fish.

ReplyDeleteYummm, this is eye candy :). I have bags and bags of scraps...now I'll be adding bags of threads! Love it.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely 'recycling'!! This looks like sunshine!
ReplyDeleteYummy colours! Is it for the component bin, or do you have a project in mind? I have boxes of bits that could use that treatment. Perhaps, not quite so sunny, but it would be a fun, in-between project. What type of string do you wrap? Is it fairly thick?
ReplyDeleteooooh you make me so happy with it...I wrap them around felt bits and pieces..
ReplyDeletethese are wonderful!!!!!!!!!!
Scrumptious looking....
ReplyDeletethat is how Nat taught me to make my baskets...very meditative fabric play. I must get back to my basket, it needs handles.
