TMTA and a new craft
This week's theme at TMTA is weeds and herbs so I used these wonderful hotpicks stamps from PaperArtsy again, The quote "May all your weeds be wildflowers" was done on the computer.
I have also been having a play with Lucetting, I didn't use a real lucet, so I used this pom pom maker I have had for ages, it's basically the same thing.
(I do have a little lucet somewhere that was a gift, but I can't remember where I put it.)
I used the instructions from this youtube video
I started with simple cord,
then I tried it triple thickness
then I tried two different textures
and two different colours
and gold thread
and finally ribbon yarn.
it's a really addictive craft and the cords are so quick to make, however other than friendship bracelets I don't really have any ideas what to do with them. I need to try incorporating beads next.
