May's Montage
From top left, clockwise: Seasonal beach Bag; mini purse; motifs for new project; paper art from the Religio Medici for Bibio-art exhibition at Blarney Books, Victoria, Australia; needlecase (pattern on blog); start of the poncho with Vee Barry; hydrangea chatelaine; detail of poncho; Hunni my helper on the Ripple blanket
And so it is June... that's winter here in Australia, but we are still experiencing the most GORGEOUS days!!!!!!!!! Barely a coat in sight which doesn't bode well for all the projects I want to make.
I know I started the year with MOTIF MONDAY but something keeps diverting my attention and I find I'm looking for MORE motifs because they are soooooooooooooo much fun! Everywhere I look, there are mandalas, motifs and the most gorgeous squares with flowers, hexagons and more. All praise to motifs and their makers. We are all HOOKED, if you'll pardon the pun!
Motif Madness good points?
*A quick fix
*a great distraction
*stash busters
*great use of colour
*many levels of difficulty meaning heaps of EASY ones for beginners
* easy to finish before another idea comes along! ;-)
Voila! In no time, you have a DOILY
for that pot or vase or for the front of a cushion cover, or for just about
anything you wish.
Yes, motifs are the
winners this month!
I'd like to share
some of mine from the blog and hope that they inspire you...
